Two insulated charged copper spheres $A$ and $B$ have their centres separated by a distance of $50 \; cm$. The charge on each is $6.5 \times 10^{-7} \; C$. Suppose the spheres $A$ and $B$ have identical sizes. $A$ third sphere of the same size but uncharged is brought in contact with the first,then brought in contact with the second,and finally removed from both. What is the new force of repulsion between $A$ and $B$?

$A$ charged metallic sphere $A$ is suspended by a nylon thread. Another charged metallic sphere $B$ held by an insulating handle is brought close to $A$ such that the distance between their centres is $10 \, cm$,as shown in Figure $(a)$. The resulting repulsion of $A$ is noted (for example,by shining a beam of light and measuring the deflection of its shadow on a screen). Spheres $A$ and $B$ are touched by uncharged spheres $C$ and $D$ respectively,as shown in Figure $(b)$. $C$ and $D$ are then removed and $B$ is brought closer to $A$ to a distance of $5.0 \, cm$ between their centres,as shown in Figure $(c)$. What is the expected repulsion of $A$ on the basis of Coulomb's law? Spheres $A$ and $C$ and spheres $B$ and $D$ have identical sizes. Ignore the sizes of $A$ and $B$ in comparison to the separation between their centres.

$A$ charged particle of mass $m_{1}$ and charge $q_{1}$ is revolving in a circle of radius $r$. Another charged particle of charge $q_{2}$ and mass $m_{2}$ is situated at the centre of the circle. If the velocity and time period of the revolving particle are $v$ and $T$ respectively, then:

Two identical charged conducting spheres $A$ and $B$ have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is $q$ and the force of repulsion between them is $F$. $A$ third identical uncharged conducting sphere $C$ is brought in contact with sphere $A$ first and then with $B$ and finally removed from both. The new force of repulsion between spheres $A$ and $B$ (radii of $A$ and $B$ are negligible compared to the distance of separation so that for calculating force between them they can be considered as point charges) is best given as:
