Two metal spheres are charged, q1_1 = 6Q and q2_2 = -2Q, and are separated by a distance d. The attractive force between these two spheres is 20 N. The metal spheres are then brought together so they are touching, and then separated again a distance d. What is the new charge on the metal spheres and what is the new force between them?
