The changes that will decrease the electric force between two positively charged objects is by moving them closer together and moving them farther apart

Answer : Option B) Moving them farther apart.

Explanation : Force (F) is inversely proportional to distance (D) separated by charges.

\(F=\frac{1}{D^{2}}\)

When Electrostatic force is found to be inversely proportional between two positive charges which is separated by a distance D, then to decrease the electrostatic force of one can try to change the distance between the two positive charges in such a way that it increases the distance and decreased the electric force. The best option would be to move the them far apart from each other.
