In order to reduce the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged particles by half, you can
EITHER: reduce the magnitude of the charge on either one by 50% of its original value,
OR: increase the distance between the particles to 141.42% of the original distance.

What causes electrostatic force?
Particles of the same charge repel eachother
What factors determine the magnitude of the electrical force between two particles?
-- The product of the electric charges on both particles.-- The distance between the centers of charge on both particles.-- The electrostatic permittivity of the space between themor of the substance in that space.
What is the force between two objects with opposite charges called?
An electric (or electrostatic) attraction.
What are electrostatic forces?
A force that acts between particles with opposite chargesAPEX
Is there more forces other then gravity?
-- Gravity ... attraction between any two masses-- Magnetic force ... attraction or repulsion between a magnet and magnetic materials,or between conductors carrying electric current-- Electrostatic force ... attraction or repulsion between electric charges, like theballoon and the wall, the comb and the bits of tissue, the socks and the shirtsin the dryer, etc.-- Strong nuclear force ... attraction between particles in the nucleus of the atom;only works over very short distances ... like inside the nucleus of an atom.
What is the force between oppositely charged sub atomic particles?
Electrostatic force of attraction
How do ions remove dust pollen another foreign particles from the air?
The cause is the electrostatic attraction between ions and these particles.
Which is the force of repulsion between two positively-charged particles?
electric force
What makes the particles of atom orbit?
The force that keeps them in orbit is the electrostatic attraction between the atom's nucleus and the electrons.
How are the particles in sodium chloride formed?
The ionic bond is formed because it is a strong electrostatic attraction between sodium and chlorine ions.
Is LiF held together by electrostatic attraction?
Yes. The electrostatic attraction is between the oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond.
Is KCl electrostatic nuclear magnetic or gravitational?
electrostatic KCl is an ionic compound formed by the electrostatic attraction between K+ ions and Cl- ions. The electrostatic attraction is an ionic bond.
The individual particles in an ionic solid are held together as a result?
The individual particles in an ionic solid are held together as a result of electrostatic attraction between the positively charged cations and the negatively charged anions.
What type of bonds electrostatic attraction between opposite charged atoms?
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged atoms (ions) is termed an ionic bond
How are ions held together in an ionic bond?
They are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds
