Two identical spheres each of radius $R$ are kept at a center-to-center spacing of $4R$ as shown in the figure. They are charged,and the electrostatic force of interaction between them is first calculated assuming them to be point-like charges at their centers $(F_c)$,and the force is also measured experimentally $(F_m)$. ($F_c$ and $F_m$ denote the magnitude of the force.)

Assume that you have $10^{23}$ carbon atoms. All the nuclei are placed at the North Pole of the Earth and all the electrons are placed at the South Pole of the Earth. (Radius of Earth = $6400 \ km$). The force between the charges is approximately:

Two point charges $+3 \mu C$ and $+8 \mu C$ repel each other with a force of $40 \ N$. If a charge of $-5 \mu C$ is added to each of them,then the force between them will become: (in $N$)
