As the charge increases, the force becomes more attractive.
As the charge increases, the force becomes more attractive.

As the charge increases, the force decreases in strength.
As the charge increases, the force decreases in strength.

As the charge increases, the force becomes more negative.
As the charge increases, the force becomes more negative.

As the charge increases, the force increases in strength.

Answer 1

As the charge increases, the force increases in strength.

Explanation: By Coulomb’s law, the magnitude of the electric force is proportional to the product of the charges (F ∝ |q1·q2|) and so grows as either charge increases (with direction determined by their signs).
