hiro rubs an inflated balloon on his hair, and his hair sticks to the balloon. as he moves the balloon away from his head, how does the electric force change?\no the electric force increases because the balloon loses its charge.\no the electric force increases because the distance increases.\no the electric force decreases because the distance increases.\no the electric force decreases because his hair loses its charge.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

The electric force between charged objects is inversely - proportional to the square of the distance between them (Coulomb's law). When the balloon moves away from the head (distance increases), the electric force decreases. The charge on the balloon and hair doesn't change in this simple scenario of moving the balloon away.

Answer:

The electric force decreases because the distance increases.
