Two point charges $+6 \mu C$ and $+10 \mu C$ kept at a certain distance repel each other with a force of $30 \ N$. If each charge is given an additional charge of $-8 \mu C$,the two charges:

  • A
    Attract with a force of $2 \ N$
  • B
    Repel with a force of $2 \ N$
  • C
    Attract with a force of $15 \ N$
  • D
    Repel with a force of $15 \ N$

Two identical balls having like charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are placed at a distance $r$ apart and repel each other with a force $F$. They are brought in contact and then moved apart to a distance equal to half their initial separation. The force of repulsion between them increases $4.5$ times in comparison with the initial value. The ratio of the initial charges of the balls, $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}$, is:
