How does increasing the distance between charged objects affect the electric force between them? the electric force increases be

cause the distance has an indirect relationship to the force. the electric force increases because the distance has a direct relationship to the force. the electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force. the electric force decreases because the distance has a direct relationship to the force.

According to Columb's law, when the distance between charged objects is increased then the electric force between them will decrease, this is because the two terms are inversely related. the correct option is C.

the electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force

Explanation:

The electric force between two objects is given by

$F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the distance between the two objects

As we can see from the formula, the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: so, when the distance between the object increases, the magnitude of the force decreases.
