Question: Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each initially experiences an electrostatic force of magnitude of F due to the other.

Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each initially experiences an electrostatic force of magnitude of F due to the other. With time, charge gradually diminishes on both spheres. When each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge and the spheres are pulled to twice the distance apart, the magnitude of the electrostatic force will be
Group of answer choices
