Two identical conducting spheres A and B carry an equal charges. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameters, and the force between them is F. A third identical conducting sphere, C, is uncharged. Sphere C is first touched to A, then to B, and then removed. As a result, the force between A and B would be equal to:

Two capacitors of equal capacitance C1=C2 are shown in the figure. Initially, while the switch S is open, one of the capacitors is uncharged and the other carries charge Q0. The energy stored in the charged capacitor is U0. Sometimes after the switch is closed, the capacitors C1 and C2 carry charges Q1 and Q2, respectively, the voltage across the capacitors are V1 and V2, and the energies stored in the capacitors are U1 and U2. Which of the following statements is incorrect?
