Two nonconducting spheres 1 and 2 carry the same charge, and the magnitude of the electric force

Question:

Two nonconducting spheres 1 and 2 carry the same charge, and the magnitude of the electric force exerted by each sphere on the other is \(0.10 \mathrm{~N}\) when they are \(50 \mathrm{~mm}\) apart.

(a) What is the magnitude of the charge on each sphere, assuming each has a diameter much smaller than \(10 \mathrm{~mm}\) ?

(b) What is the magnitude of the electric field \(50 \mathrm{~mm}\) directly above sphere 1 if sphere 2 is located to the left of sphere 1?

(c) Would your answers change if each sphere had a radius of \(10 \mathrm{~mm}\) ?
