How does the distance between charged objects affect the electric force between them?(1 point)

A. As distance increases, the force changes from negative to positive.

B. As distance increases, the force changes from attractive to repulsive.

C. As distance increases, the strength of the force decreases.

D. As distance increases, the magnitude of the force increases.

1 answer

The correct answer is:

C. As distance increases, the strength of the force decreases.

According to Coulomb's law, the electric force between two charged objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This means that as the distance increases, the strength of the electric force decreases.
