Question
which change will decrease the electric force between two positively charged objects? moving them closer together moving them farther apart adding neutrons removing electrons
According to Coulomb's law, the electric - force between two charged objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Moving them farther apart increases the distance, thus decreasing the electric force. Neutrons are neutral and do not affect electric force. Removing electrons would increase the positive charge and increase the electric force. Moving them closer together would increase the electric force.
