Use your observations to determine qualitatively how the strength of the electric interaction between charged objects depends on the distance between them. Explain your reasoning (this is trickier than it might seem at first).

    The experiment confirm the inverse square law which relates the force between two charged particles to the product of the charges and the distance between the charges.

    From the general equation, we notice the force is inversely related to the distance between the charges, when the distance is halved, the force increase by a factor of 4, hence a decrease in distance leads to a corresponding increase in the force value.

    Also the electric field intensity a charge exert on another charge within the region of its field is independent on the distance because distance has no effect on electric field strength.
