Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How does distance affect the electric force between 2 charged objects?
A
More the distance less electric force. The closer objects are the more strongly they can repel or attract.
B
More the distance more strongly they can repel or attract.
C
The closer objects are the less electric force.
D
objects can repel or attract.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Decreasing the separation distance increases the force. The magnitude of the force and the distance between the two balloons is said to be inversely related.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Answer and Explanation: Two factors influence electric force between objects. The first attribute to this influence is how far the particles are from each other. Secondly, electric force is influenced by the quantity of electric charge that these particles contain.

Detailed explanation-4: -The force between the two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Hence, if distance between charges is halved (charges remaining kept constant), the force between the two charges is quadrupled.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
