When two spheres having $4 Q$ and $-2 Q$ charge are placed at a certain distance,the force acting between them is $F$. Now they are connected by a conducting wire and again separated from each other. Now they are kept at a distance half of the previous one. The force acting between them is . . . . . . .

  • A
    $\frac{F}{2}$
  • B
    $F$
  • C
    $\frac{F}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{F}{8}$
