Two small conducting spheres of equal radius have charges $ + 10\,\mu C$ and $ - 20\,\mu C$ respectively and placed at a distance $R$ from each other experience force ${F_1}$. If they are brought in contact and separated to the same distance, they experience force ${F_2}$. The ratio of ${F_1}$ to ${F_2}$ is

  • A

    $1:8$

  • B

    $-8:1$

  • C

    $1:2$

  • D

    $-2:1$
