Question

The diagram below shows the arrangement of three small spheres, 4, B. and C, having charges of 3q, q, and q, respectively. Spheres A and C are located distance r from sphere B.

A  --------------  B  -------------  C

          r                       r

3q                  q                     q 

Compared to the magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted by sphere B on sphere C, the magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted by sphere A on sphere C is (1) the same (2) twice as great  (3) 3/4 as great  (4) 3/2 as great
