Question

As per the nature of electrostatic forces:

  1. A charged body attracts similarly charged bodies but repels uncharged bodies.
  2. A charged body attracts bodies carrying a similar charge and repels bodies possessing an opposite charge.
  3. A charged body repels bodies possessing a similar charge and attracts bodies with opposite charges.
  4. A charged body attracts all types of charged bodies.

The correct answer is: A charged body repels bodies possessing a similar charge and attracts bodies with opposite charges.


    As per the nature of electrostatic forces, like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other. Hence, a charged body repels bodies possessing a similar charge and attracts bodies with opposite charges.
