Question

Which changes will decrease the electric force between two positively charged objects? Check all that apply.

moving them closer together


moving them farther apart


adding electrons


removing electrons


adding neutrons


removing neutrons

Answer 1

Answer : Option B) Moving them farther apart.

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

`F=(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.

Answer 2

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