Question

Two equally charged, identical metal spheres A and B repel each other with a force 'F'. The spheres are kept fixed with a distance 'r' between them. A third identical, but uncharged sphere C is brought in contact with A and then placed at the mid-point of the line joining A and B. The magnitude of the net electric force on C is

Step 1

Given that the force between two equally charged spheres is given by the formula \( F = \frac{kQ^2}{r^2} \), where k is the electrostatic constant, Q is the charge, and r is the distance between the spheres. In this case, sphere A has charge Q and sphere C has Show more…
