The centres of two identical small conducting spheres are 1m apart. They carry charges of opposite kind and attract each other with a force F. When they are connected by a conducting thin wire they repel each other with a force F/3. What is the ratio of magnitude of charges carried by the spheres initially?

Two identical conducting spheres carrying different charges attract each other with a force F when placed in air medium at a distance d apart. The spheres are brought into contact and then taken to their original positions. Now the two spheres repel each other with a force whose magnitude is equal to that of the initial attractive force. The ratio between initial charges on the spheres is
