Based on electronegativity of atoms, the inductive effect increases as the electronegativity of the atom increases and the electronegative atom is closer to the site of the acidic proton.
The inductive effect occurs due to the difference in electronegativity of atoms bonded together in which electronegative atoms increases the acidity but decreases the basicity of a compound.
The inductive effect is becomes stronger with decreasing distance between atoms, thus it is effective across short distances only.
Therefore, the inductive effect increases as the electronegativity of the atom increases and the electronegative atom is closer to the site of the acidic proton.
