Adriana Weber · Answer 1

The answer to your question is the letter D. 2.5 N

Explanation:

The electrostatic force is the same in both directions,

If the electrostatic force on B due to A is 2.5 N, the magnitude of the electrostatic force on A due to B must be 2.5N.

Maybe the direction is different but the magnitude is the same.
