Answer
When the switch is closed, a current flows through coil P, producing a magnetic field. According to electromagnetic induction, coil Q experiences a force due to the changing magnetic field. As a result, the force on coil Q will initially increase as the current stabilizes and then maintain a constant value. Therefore, the correct answer is:
