$A$ 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 $K$. The unstretched length of the spring is $L_0$. $A$ charge $Q/2$ is given to each block. Consequently,the spring stretches to an equilibrium length $L$. The value of $Q$ is
