Answer:

Option B. Decreases

Explanation:

Coulomb's law states that:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

Where:

F => is the force of attraction between two charges

K => is the electrical constant.

q₁ and q₂ => are the two charges

r => is the distance apart.

From the formula:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

The force of attraction (F) is inversely proportional to the square of their separating distance (r).

This implies that as the distance between them increase, the force of attraction between the two charges will decrease and as the distance between two charges decrease, the force of attraction between them will increase.

Considering the question given above and the illustration given above, the force of attraction will decrease as their distance of separation increases.

Option B gives the right answer to the question.
