Two identical spheres A and B are situated some distance apart. Each has a charge +q
coulomb and they repel each other with a force of N. A third identical conducting sphere C is
touched with A and then with B and then placed exactly midway between A and B. Find the
resultant force on C.

Calculate the electrostatic force between the charges.
When the uncharged sphere is touched with the sphere A then the charge on the sphere A and the new sphere will be equal to q/2 and again when touched with the sphere B then the total charge on the sphere C is 1.5q.hence, the total charge on the sphere A and C is 0.75q as shown in the figure.
Calculate the force on the sphere C due to the sphere A.
Calculate the force on the sphere C due to the sphere B.
