Question

How does the electrical force relate to the distance between two charged objects?

Answer 1

Answer

It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance

Explanation

This is the inverse square law , where in electrostatics, the electric force between two charged objects is inversely connected to the distance of separation between the two objects. This is to mean an increase in separation distance between objects will cause a decrease in the force of attraction between the objects.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer option is 'It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.'

Explanation:

The electrical force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

The relation of the electrical force to the distance between the two charged objects is given by the Coloumb's law which states that:

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

where $ef$ is the electrical force, $q_1$ and $q_2$ are the two charges which are separated by the distance $r$.
