$A$ and $B$ are two identical blocks made of a conducting material. These are placed on a horizontal frictionless table and connected by a light conducting spring of force constant $‘K’$. Unstretched length of the spring is $L_0$. Charge $Q/2$ is given  to each block. Consequently, the spring stretches to an equilibrium length $L$. Value of $Q$ is
