$F$ is the force between two identical charged particles placed at a distance $Y$ from each other. If the distance between the charges is reduced to half the previous distance,then the force between them becomes:

  • A
    $\frac{F}{4}$
  • B
    $4F$
  • C
    $2F$
  • D
    $\frac{F}{2}$

Two point charges $A$ and $B$ with magnitudes $+4q$ and $-4q$ are placed along a line separated by a distance $r$. The force acting between them is $F$. If $25\%$ of the charge from point $A$ is transferred to point $B$,the force between the charges now becomes:

Two point charges $q_2 = 3 \times 10^{-6} \ C$ and $q_1 = 5 \times 10^{-6} \ C$ are located at $B(3, 5, 1) \ m$ and $A(1, 3, 2) \ m$ respectively. Find the magnitude of the force on $q_1$ due to $q_2$.
