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)

When they carry charges of the same sign $F_c > F_m$ and when they carry charges of opposite signs $F_c < F_m$ only when they are insulator.
When they carry charges of the same sign $F_c > F_m$ and when they carry charges of opposite signs $F_c < F_m$ only when they are conductor.
When they carry charges of the same sign $F_c < F_m$ and when they carry charges of opposite signs $F_c > F_m$ irrespective of their material.
When they carry charges of the same sign $F_c > F_m$ and when they carry charges of opposite signs $F_c < F_m$ irrespective of their material.
