Two small conducting sphere of equal radii have charges + 10 μC and - 20 μC respectively and placed at a distance R from each other experience force F1. If they are brought in contact and separated to the same distance, they experience force F2. The ratio of F1 to F2 is

Detailed Solution
Here, F1=k(+10)(−20)R2=−k×200R2As spheres are of equal radii, so on touching, the net charge = (+10−20)μC=−10μC, is shared equally between them, i.e. each sphere carries −5μC charge. F2=k(−5)(−5)R2=k×25R2∵F1F2=−81⇒F1:F2=−8:1
