Electrostatic interaction between two charged conducting spheres is analyzed in the case of a small spacing between them, when the polarization effects are significant. It is shown that short-range polarization forces result in the attraction of the like-charged spheres. At a sufficiently small spacing, this attraction replaces repulsive forces acting on like charges.
