thanks for the reply man, i think i got it. The charges become +2µC on both sphere X and Y, at which point it's just subbing the before and after values for the charge into F=(kq1q2)/r2, and since, they're now like charged, the force becomes a repulsive one, hence -F/3

X and Y are two identical conducting spheres separated by a distance d. X has a charge of +6µC and Y has a charge of -2µC. The electric force between them is +F (i.e. attractive). The spheres are touched together and are then returned to their original separation d. What is the new value of the...
