Question
Electric force ___________ in nature.
- Is always attractive
- Is always repulsive
- May be attractive or repulsive
- Is neutral
Hint:
The Coulomb force between two or more charged bodies is the force between them due to Coulomb's law. If the particles are both positively or negatively charged, the force is repulsive; if they are of opposite charge, it is attractive.
The correct answer is: May be attractive or repulsive
Positive and negative charged objects attract or pull each other together, while similar charged objects (2 positives or 2 negatives) repel or push each other apart.
