As distance increases, the strength of the force decreases.
By Coulomb’s law: F = k·|q1·q2|/r^2, so the magnitude of the electric force falls off with the square of the distance (e.g., doubling r → force becomes one-fourth). The sign (attractive vs. repulsive) depends on the charges, not on distance.
