Figure 1 shows the electric field lines around a positively charged metal sphere. The letter d d\,d represents the distance from the outer surface of the sphere.

Figure 1: A diagram showing a positively charged metal sphere in the center with a '+' symbol. Straight, radial electric field lines with arrows pointing outwards are shown extending from the surface of the sphere. A horizontal dimension line starting at the sphere's surface and extending to the right is labeled 'd'. The field lines are close together near the sphere and spread further apart as distance 'd' increases.

State how Figure 1 shows that the strength of the electric field decreases as the distance d d\,d increases.
