Reference no: EM13646829

A homemade electroscope has 2 pieces of straw hanging from 2strings dangling from a hook. The length of the string fromtop to bottom on one side is 8 cm. When charged, the strawsstay 2 cm apart. The mass of one of the straws is .08 grams. Assuming the straws have an equal charge, how much is the charge on one of the straws?
