Answer:
it is reduced four times.
Explanation:
By definition, the electric field is the force per unit charge created by a charge distribution.
If the charge creating the field is a point charge, the force exerted by it on a test charge, must obey Coulomb´s Law, so, it must be inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.
So, if the distance increases twice, as the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, and the square of 2 is 4, this means that the magnitude of the force exerted on the test charge must be 4 times smaller.

Hello your question is poorly written below is the complete question
Suppose the battery in a clock wears out after moving Ten thousand coulombs of charge through the clock at a rate of 0.5 Ma how long did the clock run on does battery and how many electrons per second slowed?
answer :
a) 231.48 days
b) n = 3.125 * 10^15
Explanation:
Battery moved 10,000 coulombs
current rate = 0.5 mA
<u>A) Determine how long the clock run on the battery. use the relation below</u>
q = i * t ----- ( 1 )
q = charge , i = current , t = time
10000 = 0.5 * 10^-3 * t
hence t = 2 * 10^7 secs
hence the time = 231.48 days
<u>B) Determine how many electrons per second flowed </u>
q = n*e ------ ( 2 )
n = number of electrons
e = 1.6 * 10^-19
q = 0.5 * 10^-3 coulomb ( charge flowing per electron )
back to equation 2
n ( number of electrons ) = q / e = ( 0.5 * 10^-3 ) / ( 1.6 * 10^-19 )
hence : n = 3.125 * 10^15
