This relationship is described by Coulomb's Law:
F = k * (q1 * q2) / r²
Where:
* F is the electrical force
* k is Coulomb's constant (a proportionality constant)
* q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges
* r is the distance between the charges
As you can see from the formula, the force (F) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r²). This means:
* If you double the distance, the force becomes four times weaker.
* If you triple the distance, the force becomes nine times weaker.
In essence, the further apart the charges are, the weaker the electrical force between them becomes.
