Homework Help: Physics - Charges on objects (check + help)

Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, October 26, 2010 at 5:39am.

Two identical objects have charges from +6.0*10^-6 and -2.0*10^-6, respectively. When placed a distance d apart, their force of attraction is 2,0N. If the objects are touched together, then they moved to a distance of separation of 2d, what will be the new force between them?

Ans: I tried the finding the distance d and then finding the new force, but i am not getting the value, i even tried the inverse square law , i got the same answer but not the one required 0.17N.
