To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the charges on the balls before and after they are brought into contact, and then determine the nature of the Coulomb force between them. ### Step 1: Identify Initial Charges - Ball A has a charge of \(-Q\). - Ball B has a charge of \(+3Q\). ### Step 2: Calculate Total Charge When Contacted When the two balls are brought into contact, the total charge is the sum of their individual charges: ...
