Two positive point charges are separated by a distance of $4 \ m$ in air. If the sum of the two charges is $36 \mu C$ and the electrostatic force between them is $0.18 \ N$,then the bigger charge is (in $\mu C$)

Two identical conducting spheres,having charges of opposite sign,attract each other with a force of $0.108 \ N$ when separated by $0.5 \ m$. The spheres are connected by a conducting wire,which is then removed,and thereafter,they repel each other with a force of $0.036 \ N$. The initial charges on the spheres are
