Two identical conducting spheres $A$ and $B$ having charges $+q$ and $-q$ respectively are kept at a distance $d$ apart and experience a Coulombian force $F$ between them. If $50\%$ of the charge is transferred from sphere $B$ to $A$,then the new Coulombian force between them is . . . . . . .

  • A
    $F$
  • B
    $\frac{F}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{F}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2F}{3}$
