Two identical conducting spheres carry identical charges. If the spheres are set at a certain distance apart, they repel each other with a force $F$. A third conducting sphere identical to the other two, but initially uncharged is touched to one sphere and then to the other before being removed. The force between the original two spheres is now

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
