Question

Two spherical conductors B and C having equal radii and carrying equal charges in them repel each other with a force F when kept apart at some distance. A third spherical conductor having same radius as that of B but uncharged is brought in contact with B, then brought in contact with C and finally removed away from both. The new force of repulsion between B and C is

(a) F/4

(b) 3F/4

(c) F/8

(d) 3F/ 8

Answer

(d) 3F/ 8
