Question
question 1 of 30 how does the electric force between two charged objects change when the distance between the objects decreases? a the force increases if the charges are unlike; it decreases if the charges are alike. b the force decreases. c the force increases if the charges are alike; it decreases if the charges are unlike. d the force increases.
By Coulomb's Law, electric force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between charges. Decreasing distance increases the force magnitude, regardless of charge type.
