For Question 3, as the distance between two charges is decreased, the electrostatic force between them will:
**d. increase**
This is based on Coulomb's Law, which states that the electric force between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Thus, as the distance decreases, the force increases.
For Question 4, as the magnitude (size) of the two charges in close contact increases, the size of the electrostatic force between them will:
**c. the force increases**
According to Coulomb's Law, the electrostatic force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the two charges. Therefore, when the size of the charges increases, the force increases as well.
**d. increase**
This is based on Coulomb's Law, which states that the electric force between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Thus, as the distance decreases, the force increases.
