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

In the setup with two pith balls that each have negative charges, the correct options that describe what is happening are:
1. **Since both pith balls have a negative charge, there will be a repulsive electric force between them, pushing them away from each other.**
2. **The greater the distance between the pith balls, the negative charges and electric force between them become less.**
These responses accurately reflect the principles of electrostatics, where like charges repel each other and the force between them decreases with increasing distance.
