Force becomes 1/4th

Explanation:

Force between two positively charged particles is given by the equation

F = k*q1*q2/r² So, force is inversely proportional to square of r.

Here, k is a constant, q1 and q2 are the charges which are equal and r is the distance between them.

So if the distance is doubled, r becomes 2r and r² becomes (2r) ² = 4r² Force, F then becomes 1/4th of the initial force.
