Question
Consider two particles A and B having equal charges and placed at some distance. The particle A is slightly displaced towards B. Does the force on B increase as soon as the particle A is displaced? Does the force on the particle A increase as soon as it is displaced?
✓

Answer

Electrostatic force follows the inverse square law, $\text{F}=\frac{\text{k}}{\text{r}^2}.$ This means the the force on two particles carrying charges increases on decreasing the distance between them. Therefore, as particle A is slightly displaced towards B, the force on B as well as a A will increase.
