Two otherwise identical conducting spheres carry charges of +4.80 µC and –1.00 µC. They are initially a distance L apart. The distance L is much larger than the radii of the spheres. The spheres were brought together, touched, and then returned to their original separation L. What is the ratio of the magnitude of the force on either sphere after they are touched to that before they were touched?

You have likely experienced "static shock" recently. The magnitude of charge transferred when you walk across a carpet, reach out and touch a doorknob, and unintentionally give yourself that static shock is around 2.98 nC (nC stands for nano-Coulomb). In units of Giga-electrons, about how many electrons are transferred when you experience static shock? Note: it is understood that the unit of your answer is in billions of electrons (hence Giga-electrons), however do not explicitly include units in your answer.
