Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value.
Detailed explanation-2: -The force between two electric charges is called electrostatic force.
