4. In general, the electric force is directly related to the magnitude (strength) of the charges. This means that as the magnitude of the charges increases, the electric force will also:
A. Increase
B. Decrease
C. Not change at all
D. There is no way to know
5. Therefore, when the magnitude of one charge is increased by a factor, the magnitude of the force will…
A. Increase by the same factor
B. Decrease by the same factor
C. Increase by the square of the factor
D. Decrease by the square of the factor
E. Not change at all
Based on your previous answers, which statement best describes how the electric force would change if the magnitude of Charge 1 were DECREASED?
A. The electric force would decrease.
B. The electric force would increase.
C. The electric force would not change.
D. There is no way to know.
My teacher didn't explain this in her videos

Where are you getting stuck on these questions? In physics, do you know what "directly related" means?
