Select the two options below that describe what is happening between the two pith balls.

Question

(2 points)
The greater the distance between the pith balls, the greater the negative charges and the greater the
electric force between them.
Since both pith balls have a negative charge, there will be an attractive electric force between them,
pulling them together.
Since both pith balls have a negative charge, there will be a repulsive electric force between them,
pushing them away from each other.
The greater the distance between the pith balls, the negative charges and electric force between them
become less.

Answer 1

The greater the distance between the pith balls, the greater the negative charges and the greater the electric force between them.
Since both pith balls have a negative charge, there will be an attractive electric force between them, pulling them together.
