Two oppositely charged objects are separated by a small distance. The objects are then moved three times farther apart from each other. Which of the following statements best describes what happens to the electrical force between the objects?

A: The force of attraction increases
B: The force of attraction decreases
C: The force of attraction stays the same
D: The force of attraction becomes a force of repulsion

Respuesta :

Force is indirectly proportional to the distance. Therefore when the distance increases the force of attraction increases and the answer would be B

The statement best describes what happens to the electrical force between the objects when moved three times farther apart from each other is the force of attraction decreases. The correct option is B.

What is force of attraction?

The objects when placed at a distance, they are attracted by the gravitational force of attraction.

Gravitational force of attraction is directly proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Two oppositely charged objects are separated by a small distance. The objects are then moved three times farther apart from each other.

Force is indirectly proportional to the distance. So, when the distance increases the force of attraction decreases.

Thus, the correct option is B.
