Two identical conducting spheres having unequal positive charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ are separated by a distance $r$. If they are made to touch each other and then separated again to the same distance $r$,the electrostatic force between the spheres in this case will be (neglect induction of charges):

  • A
    Less than before
  • B
    Same as before
  • C
    More than before
  • D
    Zero
