The total charge Q = 0.46 nC  

Explanation:

It is given in the question that both charges are equal so  

Q1 = Q2 = Q  

Force = F = 6 × 10^(-8) N

Distance between charges = r = 18 cm  

According to coulomb’s Law

F = K Q1 Q2/r^2  

And  

Q = (F* r^2 / K )^(1/2)

By putting values in above equation, we get  

Q = 0.46 nC
