I need help w/ a physics question..?

Question

As two attracting charges are brought together, the size of the force between them _____ as the distance between them gets smaller.

A) increases rapidly

B) increases slightly

C) remains unchanged

D) decreases slightly

E) decreases rapidly

Answer 1

Answer is A

Force = Charge1 x Charge2 / 4 x pi x Epsilon0 x distance apart^2

This is Coloumbs Law and is an example of the inverse square law.

As the distance apart gets smaller - so does the ^2 term.

Answer 2

It's an inverse square relationship, iirc. So it would be A
