- Two identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is \(q\) and the force of repulsion between them is \(F\). A third identical uncharged conducting sphere C is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with sphere B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (Radius of A and B are negligible compared to the distance of separation so that they can be considered as point charges) is best given as:
