Two equally charged identical metal spheres X and Y repel each other with a force 5* 10^-4* N another identical uncharged sphere C is touched to A and then placed at the mid-point between X and Y. Net electric force on C is

Two similarly and equally charged identical metal spheres A and B repel each other with a force of 2xx10^(-5)N . A third identical unchared sphere C is touched with A and then placed at the midpoint between A and B. Find the net electric force on C.

A and B are two identical point sized metal spheres each holding the same charge .q.. These two are separated by certain distance and the mutual electrostatic force between them is F. If a third identical uncharged sphere .C. is touched with A and kept exactly at the midpoint of line joining A and B, what is the resulting force on C and its direction?

Two spherical conductors B and C having equal radii and cayying equal charges on them repel each other with a force F when kept apart at some distance.

Two identical conducting spheres A and B, carry equal charge. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameters, and the force between them is F. A third identical conducting spheres, C,is uncharged. Sphere C is first touched to A, then to B, and then removed. As a result, the force between A and B would be equal to :

Two identical conducting sphere carrying different charges attact each other with a force F when placed in air medium at a distance d apart. The spheres are brought into contact and then taken to their original positions. Now, the two sphere repel each other with a force whole magnitude is equal to the initial attractive force. The ratio between initial charges on the spheres is
