Answer:


\Large{\underline{\underline{\blue{\sf Required \ Answer\ :- }}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Both gravitational and electrostatic force follow the inverse square law .

According to which , Force is inversely proportional to the square of distance between the bodies/charges . That is ,


\implies F \propto (1)/(r^2)

Hence as r increases, F decreases.
