Two point charges $3 \times 10^{-6} \,C$ and  $8 \times 10^{-6} \, C$ repel each other by a force of  $6 \times 10^{-3} \, N$. If each of them is given an additional charge $-6 \times 10^{-6} \, C$, the force between them will be

  • A

    $2.4 \times 10^{-3} $ $N$ (attractive)

  • B

    $2.4 \times 10^{-9} $ $N$ (attractive)

  • C

    $1.5 \times 10^{-3} $ $N$ (repulsive)

  • D

    $1.5 \times 10^{-3}$  $N$ (attractive)
