Question
If we decrease the distance between two charges the electric force ___________.
- Increases
- Decreases
- Remains the same
- Becomes zero
Hint:
Electric force is inversly proportional to square of the distance.
The correct answer is: Increases
the force of electric field acting between two objects is inversely proportional to the distance between them. Therefore, with the increase in the distance, the force of electric force decrease
