Final answer:

Increasing the distance between charged objects decreases the electric force between them due to the inverse square relationship.


Explanation:

When the distance between charged objects increases, the electric force decreases because the force is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance between them. For example, if the distance between two charged objects is doubled, the force between them decreases to one fourth of the original force. This relationship is described by Coulomb's law.
