I don't know how to find the individual charges for the spheres, so I can get my "q" value and plug it into coulombs law.

what is the actual question?

happykiddo · Answer

Give the force between the charges, described up above.

irishboy123 · Answer

i think you'll end up with q = -15 on each

conservation of charge plus symmetry
