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

Q. Two identical conducting spheres of a small radius are charged and placed 25 cm apart. It is observed that they attract each other with a force 1.728 N.
