Answer:

Decreasing the distance between the particles by a factor of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To double the force between the two charge particles, the distance between the particles should be reduced by a factor of two.

According to coulombs law "force is directly proportional to the potential between the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of their distances".

F =
(kq_(1) q_(2) )/(r^(2) )

F is the electric force

k is the coulomb constant

q is the charge

r is the distance or separation

As the separation between the charges is reduced the force increases and vice versa
