A charged particle (q = -8.0 mC), which moves in a region where the only force acting on the particle is an electric force, is r

the electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force
Explanation:
The electric force between two objects is given by
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.
