When an electron and a proton are separated by a distance d, they experience an electrostatic force F. A second electron is placed very close to the proton so that the electron-proton separation distance is much smaller than d. The magnitude of the force on the first electron is
A) 0
B) F/2.
C) F
D) 2F.
E) unknown; more information is needed to work out the answer.
