How does the electric force between two charged objects change?

Answer 1

Inverse square variation, #F\prop\frac{1}{D^2}#

Electrostatic force between two point charges #Q_1# & #Q_2# separated by a distance #D# is given as folows

#F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Q_1Q_2}{D^2}#

#F\prop\frac{1}{D^2}#

As a result, the square of the distance between the charges and the electrostatic force between two points is inversely proportional.

The electric force between two charged objects follows Coulomb's law and depends on the magnitude of the charges and the distance between them. It increases with larger charges and decreases with greater distance.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
