Two identical metallic spheres $A$ and $B$ when placed at a certain distance in air repel each other with a force of $F$. Another identical uncharged sphere $C$ is first placed in contact with $A$ and then in contact with $B$ and finally placed at the midpoint between spheres $A$ and $B$. The force experienced by sphere $C$ will be:

  • A
    $3F / 2$
  • B
    $3F / 4$
  • C
    $F$
  • D
    $2F$
