Distance between the spheres, A and B, r
Initially, the charge on each sphere,
When sphere A is touched with an uncharged sphere C, q/2 amount of charge from A will transfer to sphere C. Hence, charge on each of the spheres, A and C, is .
When sphere with charge is brought in contact with sphere with charge , total charges on the system will divide into two equal halves given as,

Hence, charge on each of the spheres, and , is .
Force of repulsion between sphere A having charge q/2 and sphere B having charge is



Therefore, the force of attraction between the two spheres is
