Three equal charges $q_1, q_2$ and $q_3$ are placed on the three corners of a square of side $a$. If the force between $q_1$ and $q_2$ is $F_{12}$ and that between $q_1$ and $q_3$ is $F_{13}$,then the ratio of magnitudes $\left(\frac{F_{12}}{F_{13}}\right)$ is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2}$
