Two point charges $+q_1$ and $+q_2$ repel each other with a force of $100 \ N$. $q_1$ is increased by $10 \%$ and $q_2$ is decreased by $10 \%$. If they are kept at their original positions, the change in the force of repulsion between them is:

  • A
    decreased by $10 \ N$
  • B
    increased by $10 \ N$
  • C
    increased by $1 \ N$
  • D
    decreased by $1 \ N$

$A$ small uncharged conducting sphere is placed in contact with an identical sphere having a charge of $4 \times 10^{-8} \text{ C}$. They are then separated to a distance such that the force of repulsion between them is $9 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N}$. The distance between them is (Take $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-2}$ in $SI$ units). (in $\text{ cm}$)
