Two point charges, q₁ and q₂, are separated by a distance r.
If the distance between the two charges is increased to 2r while the magnitude of the charges remains constant, how does the new electrostatic force compare to the original force?
- The force is one-fourth as strong.
- The force is four times stronger.
- The force is one-sixteenth as strong.
- The force is half as strong.
