How does increasing the distance between charged objects affect the electric force between them?(2 points)
The electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force.
The electric force decreases because the distance has a direct relationship to the force.

The first statement is correct.
Electric force decreases because distance and force are inversely related: by Coulomb’s law F = k|q1q2|/r^2, so increasing r makes F smaller (falls off as 1/r^2).
