A small negative bead is held near a fixed negative point charge. The bead is moved farther away along the same straight line.
Which links the change in field-line spacing to the change in electric force on the bead?
Lines become farther apart; the attractive force decreases.
Lines become closer together; the repulsive force increases.
Lines become farther apart; the repulsive force decreases.
