When the distance between two charges decreases, the electric force. 

Question 8 options:
A. Decrease
B. Only decreased if both charges are opposites
C. Increase
D. Only increase if both charges are positive

Respuesta :

Answer:

Increase.

Explanation:

The force between two charges is given by :

[tex]F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}[/tex]

Where

k is electrostatic constant

d is the distance between two charges

The force is inversely proportional to the distance between charges. It means when the distance between two charges decreases, the electric force will increase. Hence, the correct option is (c) "increase".
