Two identical conducting spheres $A$  and $B,$  carry equal charge. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameter, and the force between them is $F$ . A third identical conducting sphere, $C,$  is uncharged. Sphere $C$  is first touched to $A,$ then to $B,$  and then removed. As a result, the force between $A$  and $B$  would be equal to
