Question

question 2 of 25. if the separation between two charges increases, how does the force between the charges change according to coulombs law? a. the magnitude of the force increases. b. both the magnitude and the direction of the force changes. c. the direction of the force changes from repulsive to attractive. d. the magnitude of the force decreases.

Explanation:

Coulomb's law states the electrostatic force between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of their separation. Increasing separation decreases the force magnitude; direction depends on charge signs (not specified here, so direction doesn't change).

Answer:

D. The magnitude of the force decreases.
