$A$ point charge $A$ of $+10 \mu C$ and another point charge $B$ of $+20 \mu C$ are kept $1 \ m$ apart in free space. The electrostatic force on $A$ due to $B$ is $F_1$ and the electrostatic force on $B$ due to $A$ is $F_2$. Then:

  • A
    $F_1 = -2 F_2$
  • B
    $F_1 = -F_2$
  • C
    $2 F_1 = -F_2$
  • D
    $F_1 = F_2$
