Two point charges $A$ and $B$, having charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ respectively, are placed at a certain distance apart and the force acting between them is $F$. If $25\%$ charge of $A$ is transferred to $B$, then the force between the charges becomes
  1. F.
  2. 9F16.
  3. 16F9.
  4. 4F3.

Solution

F=KQ2r2
After transferring 25% of charge, q1=3Q4 and q2=-3Q4
F1=916KQ2r2=916F
