Two equally charged metal spheres $A$ and $B$ repel each other with a force of $4 \times 10^{-5} \ N$. Another identical uncharged sphere $C$ is touched to $A$ and then placed at the midpoint of the line joining the spheres $A$ and $B$. The net electric force on the sphere $C$ is

Two charged spheres separated at a distance $d$ exert a force $F$ on each other. If they are immersed in a liquid of dielectric constant $2$,then what is the force (if all conditions are same)?

In one model of the electron,the electron of mass $m_e$ is thought to be a uniformly charged shell of radius $R$ and total charge $e$,whose electrostatic energy $E$ is equivalent to its mass $m_e$ via Einstein's mass-energy relation $E = m_e c^2$. In this model,$R$ is approximately ($m_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$,$c = 3 \times 10^8 \, ms^{-1}$,$1 / 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^9 \, Nm^2C^{-2}$,magnitude of the electron charge $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$).
