Which statement best explains the relationship between the electric force between two charged objects and the distance between them?




As the distance increases by a factor, the electric force increases by the square of that factor.




As the distance increases by a factor, the electric force increases by twice that factor.




As the distance increases by a factor, the electric force decreases by twice that factor.




As the distance increases by a factor, the electric force decreases by the same factor.




As the distance increases by a factor, the electric force decreases by the square of that factor.

According to Coulomb's Law. The relationship between the electric force between two charged objects and the distance between them is:
F = 1/d^2

So,

As the distance increases by a factor, the electric force decreases by the square of that factor.
