A parallel-plate capacitor consists of a fixed plate and a movable plate that is allowed to slide in the direction parallel to the plates. Let $x$ be the distance of overlap, as shown in the figure. The separation between the plates is fixed. Assume that the plates are electrically isolated, so that their charges $±Q$ are constant. Force on the movable plate is proportional to 
  • A$x^{-2}$
  • B$x^{-1}$
  • C$x^0$
  • D$x$
