What happens to the electric force between charges if the distance between them is doubled?

It doubles.

It remains the same.

It is halved.

It becomes one-fourth.

According to Coulomb's law, the electric force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

Doubling the distance decreases the force to one-fourth.

This is due to the relationship F ? 1/r².
