Two charged objects, a and b, exert an electric force on each other. what happens if the distance between them is increased?

a) the charge on b decreases
b) the charge on b increases
c) the electric force between them decreases
d) the electric force between them increses

option c) the electric force between them decreases.

Explanation:

The electric force that two charged objects exert on each other follows Coulomb's law: the electric force is proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separate the charges.

Mathematically, that is:

Hence, you conclude that if the distance between the charges is increased, the electric force will decrease.
