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 $B?$
