Two identical spheres each of radius $R$ are kept at center-to-center spacing $4R$ as shown in the figure. They are charged and the electrostatic force of interaction between them is first calculated assuming them point like charges at their centers and the force is also measured experimentally. The calculated and measured forces are denoted by $F_c$ and $F_m$ respectively.
($F_c$ and $F_m$ denote magnitude of force)

Figure represents a crystal unit of cesium chloride, $\mathrm{CsCl}$. The cesium atoms, represented by open circles are situated at the corners of a cube of side $0.40\,\mathrm{nm}$, whereas a $\mathrm{Cl}$ atom is situated at the centre of the cube. The $\mathrm{Cs}$ atoms are deficient in one electron while the $\mathrm{Cl}$ atom carries an excess electron.
$(i)$ What is the net electric field on the $\mathrm{Cl}$ atom due to eight $\mathrm{Cs}$ atoms ?
$(ii)$ Suppose that the $\mathrm{Cs}$ atom at the corner $A$ is missing. What is the net force now on the $\mathrm{Cl}$ atom due to seven remaining $\mathrm{Cs}$ atoms ?
