Increasing the magnitude of the charges on the objects or decreasing the distance between them would increase the force between two charged objects. Additionally, changing the medium in which the objects are placed can also affect the force, as different materials have different dielectric constants that influence the strength of the electric field.

Type of force between charged objects?
The type of force between charged objects is called electrostatic force. This force is attractive for opposite charges and repulsive for like charges, and it follows Coulomb's law.
What happens to the forces of attraction between charged objects and uncharged as the distance between them decreases?
As the distance between charged objects and uncharged ones decreases, the force of attraction between them increases due to the stronger electric field in closer proximity. This is in accordance with Coulomb's law, which states that the force between charged objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Which changes will decrease the electric force between two positively charged objects?
Increasing the distance between the objects, or decreasing the amount of charge on the objects will reduce the electric force between two positively charged objects. Adding negatively charged objects nearby can also reduce the electric force by attracting the positive charges.
How do you increase electrostatic forces between two charged objects?
To increase the electrostatic force between two charged objects, you can increase the magnitude of the charges on the objects or decrease the distance between them. Increasing the charge will directly increase the force, while decreasing the distance will increase the force through the inverse square law relationship.
How does the electric force between two charged objects change when the distance between the objects decreases?
Less distance --> more force.
