The relationship is an inverse squared relationship.

Answer: Coulomb's law says: F =
k*(q1*q2)/(r^(2) ) where F is the force, q1 and q2 are the charge of both objects, k is a constant and r is the distance between the objects.

Here you can see that the relation between the electrical force and the separation between two charged objects is a inverse squared relationship.

so F is proportional to
(1)/(r^(2) ), meaning that if r crease, then F must decrease (which has a lot of sense).
