Question

Which of thWhich of the following is a true statement?

A. Electric fields increase in strength as you move farther from the charge, but electric forces decrease.
B. Both electric fields and forces decrease in strength as the distance increases.
C. Electric fields don't change in strength with distance from a charge, but electric forces do.
D. Electric forces stay the same as distance changes, but electric fields change.e following is a true statement

Answer 1

B. Both electric fields and forces ...

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

B. Both electric fields and forces decrease in strength as the distance increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

from the Coulomb's law

`F=(k q_(1) q_(2) )/(r^(2))`

electrif field is also expressed as

F = qE., so

`E = (k q)/(r^(2))`

it can seen that electric force and electric field and dependent on distance. that is inverse square of distance.

so, if the electric force and eletric field decreases in strength, it is because the distance of separation has increased.
