$A$ point charge $q_1$ exerts an electric force on a second point charge $q_2$. If a third charge $q_3$ is brought near,the electric force of $q_1$ exerted on $q_2$:

  • A
    Decreases
  • B
    Increases
  • C
    Remains unchanged
  • D
    Increases if $q_3$ is of same sign as $q_1$ and decreases if $q_3$ is of opposite sign
