Question

Negative charge is attracted by _________ charge.

  1. Positive
  2. Negative
  3. Neutral
  4. None

hintHint:

Like charges repel each other; unlike charges attract.

The correct answer is: Positive


    Like charges repel each other; unlike charges attract. Thus, two negative charges repel one another, while a positive charge attracts a negative charge. The attraction or repulsion acts along the line between the two charges. The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges.
    Negative charge is attracted by positive charge.
