What you can use is coulomb's inverse square law that states that force varies inversly as the square of distance.  <span>It menas that the force is calculated by dividing by distance squared. what this does is essentially as the distance doubles, the forces is reduced by a factor of 4 or can be divided by 4. Force at 0.5m=2.3328N. And brings you ti the answer</span>

Answer:

New force, F' = 2.33 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

A physicist found that a force of 0.72 N was measured between two charged sphere.

The distance between the spheres was, d = 0.9 m

We have to find the force between the two sphere when the distance was decreased to d' = 0.5 m

The force acting between two charged particles is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

i.e. F is inversely proportional to the square of distance between the charges. Let F' is the force when distance is decreased.

So, \dfrac{F}{F'}=(\dfrac{d'}{d})^2

\dfrac{0.72}{F'}=(\dfrac{0.5}{0.9})^2

On solving, we get : F' = 2.33 N

Hence, on decreasing distance the force between the charges increases.
