Observing a set of pith balls with positive charges, how does the distance between the pith balls affect the electric electrical charge?

Answer:

i'm pretty sure what the other guy means is:

The greater the distance between the pith balls, the lesser the amount of electric charge that exists between them.

Step-by-step explanation:

"This means that as the distance between two positively charged pith balls increases, the electrical force between them decreases"

The electrical force between two charged objects decreases as the distance between them increases. This means that as the distance between two positively charged pith balls increases, the electrical force between them decreases. Therefore, the electrical charge on each pith ball is not affected by the distance between them. The charge on each pith ball will remain the same regardless of the distance between them. However, the electrical force between the pith balls will be weaker at greater distances, and stronger at smaller distances.
