If the distance between two point charges is halved, the electric force between them becomes:
AHalf as strong
BTwice as strong
CFour times as strong
DUnchanged
Explanation
📌 F ∝ 1/d². Halving d gives d/2, so d² becomes d²/4, and F becomes 4F. Distractor A: applied direct proportion; B: forgot the square; D: ignored distance dependence.
