Electrostatric force on a test charge is stronger when it's closer to another charge.
In exactly the same way, mathematically, that the gravitational force on a test mass
is stronger when it's closer to another mass.
And in exactly the same ratio.
No, field lines that are close together indicate a stronger magnetic field, not a weaker one. The density of field lines represents the strength of the magnetic field in that region.
Inducing a charge by bringing a neutral object close to a charged object is called electrostatic induction. This process causes the redistribution of charges within the neutral object, resulting in the neutral object acquiring a charge.
A neutral substance acquires opposite charge to the object brought near it. For example, if a negatively charged object is brought close to a neutral substance, it will induce a positive charge on the neutral substance through the process of electrostatic induction.
When a charged rod is brought close to paper, the charge induces an opposite charge on the paper's surface through polarization. This creates an attractive force due to electrostatic attraction. However, once the charges on the paper are rearranged, like charges repel each other causing the paper to move away from the rod. This is known as electrostatic repulsion.
Energy levels close to the nucleus have lower energy, which means electrons are more tightly bound and experience stronger electrostatic attraction to the nucleus. This results in a limited capacity for electrons at lower energy levels. As electrons move to higher energy levels, they are farther from the nucleus and experience weaker attraction, allowing for higher electron capacity.

The electric field is strongest close to the source charge and weakens with distance from the source. It is weaker in regions with insulating materials compared to regions with conducting materials. Additionally, the electric field is weaker inside a conductor compared to outside the conductor due to charge redistribution.
No, magnetic field lines close together indicate a stronger magnetic field, while magnetic field lines farther apart indicate a weaker magnetic field. The density of field lines represents the strength of the magnetic field in that region.

It means that the magnets are closer together
Objects with the same charge will repel each other when they come close to one another due to the electrostatic force of repulsion between like charges. This is because like charges carry the same type of charge, either positive or negative, and thus there is a force that pushes them away from each other to minimize the energy of the system.
When the rubbed balloon is brought close to the can, electrons will transfer from the can to the balloon, creating a net positive charge on the can. This causes the can to be attracted to the negatively charged balloon, leading to the can moving towards the balloon until they touch or reach a balance in the electrostatic forces.
When a charged balloon is brought close to an empty pop can, the negative charge on the balloon induces a positive charge on the can due to electrostatic induction. The opposite charges attract each other, creating a force that causes the can to roll towards the balloon.
