Observing a set of pith balls with positive charges, how does the distance between the pith balls affect the electric electrical charge?(1 point)

The distance between the pith balls will not affect the electric charge.

The greater the distance between the pith balls, the lesser the amount of electric charge that exists between them.

The lesser the distance between the pith balls, the greater the amount of electric charge that exists between them.

The distance does not affect the electric charge. Charge on the pith balls is a property of the objects (conserved unless charge is transferred); only the electric force between them changes with distance (Coulomb's law: F ∝ 1/r^2).
