In Figure (a) we study two particles, A and B. They are separated by distance a. Particle A initially has a positive charge of +Q and particle B is electrically neutral (q = 0). Thus, no electric force acts between them. The particles are then connected, as shown in Figure (b). This allows for an equal distribution of charges between the two particles. What is the electric force between the particles after the connection is removed? (Use the following as necessary: ε0, Q, and a. Do not substitute numerical values; use variables only.)
