Four charged particles \(A, B, C ,\) and \(D\) are placed at the four corners of a square, as shown in the figure. Charges \(A\) and \(D\) each carry a charge of \(+2 ~\text C ,\) while charges \(B\) and \(C\) each carry a charge of \(-4~\text C .\) A particle \(q\) of charge \(+ 1~\text C\) is placed at the centre of the square. The net electrostatic force acting on \(q \) due to the other four charges is:

Two identical conducting spheres \(A\) and \(B\) carry an equal charge. 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. The 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:
1. \(\dfrac{3F}{4}\)

2. \(\dfrac{F}{2}\)

3. \(\dfrac{3F}{8}\)

4. \(F\)
