Problem

Two point charges, each of magnitude qq, are 10 cm10\,\text{cm} apart. Initially both are +q+q. If one of them is changed to −q-q, how does the magnitude of the force between them change? (a) It doubles and turns attractive (b) It becomes half and turns attractive (c) It remains the same but turns attractive (d) It remains the same but remains repulsive
