Question 139

Two identical small conducting spheres, X X\,X and YYY, carry charges of +Q+Q+Q and −5Q-5Q−5Q respectively, and are separated by a distance ddd. The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is FFF.

The spheres are brought into contact and then separated to a distance of 2d2d2d.

What is the magnitude of the new electrostatic force between the spheres in terms of FFF?
