The repulsive force between two point charges is $F$ when they are separated by a distance of $1 \, m$. Now,these point charges are replaced by spheres of radius $25 \, cm$ having the same charges. The distance between their centers is $1 \, m$. The repulsive force in the two cases will decrease according to:

  • A
    $F \propto \frac{1}{d^2}$
  • B
    $F \propto \frac{1}{d}$
  • C
    $F \propto d^2$
  • D
    $F \propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{d^2}}$
