Two identical conducting spheres with negligible volume have $2.1 \, nC$ and $-0.1 \, nC$ charges,respectively. They are brought into contact and then separated by a distance of $0.5 \, m$. The electrostatic force acting between the spheres is $.......... \times 10^{-9} \, N$. [Given: $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} = 9 \times 10^{9} \, N \cdot m^{2}/C^{2}$]
