Multiple Choice

Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart,and there is an electrostatic force of magnitude F that they exert on each other.With time,charge gradually diminishes on both spheres by leaking off.When each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge,what will be the magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted on each one?

A) 1/16 F
B) 1/8 F
C) 1/4 F
D) 1/2 F
E) 1/ $\sqrt { 2 }$ F
