Two similar conducting spheres are separated by a distance d. One sphere carries charge +Q and the other carries -Q. They each feel an attractive force F. If two third of the charge on the negative sphere is transferred to the positive sphere, what is the magnitude of the new attractive force? 4F/9 8F/9 F/3 2F/3 F/9
