Force acts on charges. This is demonstrated by Coulomb's law.
F = kq1q2/r2 where F is the coulomb force, k is coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges and r is the distance between them.
If there were two positive charges, one of 0.1 coulomb and the second of 0.2 coulomb, they would repel each other with a force that depends on the product 0.2 × 0.1. Thus, if each of the charges were reduced by one-half, the repulsion would be reduced to one-quarter of its former value.
It also doubles.F = kq1q2/r2 where F is the coulomb force, k is coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges and r is the distance between them.
It is because when a dielectric is placed between the charges , the dielectric gets polarized and the net electric field between the two charges decreases, hence force = charge x electric field also decreases. john

The repulsive force between two charges is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Charles Augustin de Coulomb (1736 - 1806) did, in 1785 .
The repulsive force between two charges is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Electric force can act at a distance, but is stronger when objects are closer. the electric force is larger the closer the two objects are The electric force varies with the distance between the charges. The closer they are, the stronger the force. The farther apart they are, the weaker the force.
If two charges of values 1 micro coulomb and 0.1 micro coulomb are kept in free space separated by a distance of 3 cm then the force between them will be 1 N.
