View Policies Current Attempt in Progress In the figure three identical conducting spheres initially have the following charges: sphere A, 7Q; sphere B, -8 ; ; and sphere C, 0 . Spheres A and B are fixed in place, with a center-to-center separation that is much larger than the spheres. Two experiments are conducted. In experiment 1, sphere

is touched to sphere

and then (separately) to sphere

, and then it is removed. In experiment 2 , starting with the same initial states, the procedure is reversed: Sphere

is touched to sphere

and then (separately) to sphere

, and then it is removed. What is the ratio of the electrostatic force between

and

at the end of experiment 2 to that at the end of experiment 1 ? Number
