Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The electrical force between charges is strongest when the charges are
A
close together
B
far apart
C
the electric force is constant everywhere.
D
there is no pattern
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The electrical force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Assuming we have two charges, the electrical force between them increases as the two charges are moved closer. It means that the electric force is strongest when the distance between them is least.

Detailed explanation-2: -The force between them increases. It doesn’t matter whether the force is attractive or repulsive. If the charges are kept constant in magnitude, reducing the distance between them (bringing them closer together) increases the force between them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, the force between two charged objects is called the electrostatic force.

Detailed explanation-4: -The attraction or repulsion between charged particles is called electric force. The strength of electric force depends on the amount of electric charge on the particles and the distance between them. Larger charges or shorter distances result in greater force.
