Question

coulombs law describes how the charge on and distance between two particles affect the electric force between them. which situation will result in the two particles being attracted to each other? a. one particle having a positive charge and the other a negative charge b. both particles having a positive charge c. each particle having zero charge d. both particles having a negative charge

Explanation:

According to the principle of electric charge interaction, unlike charges attract each other and like charges repel each other. When one particle has a positive charge and the other has a negative charge (unlike charges), they will be attracted. If both are positive (like charges) or both are negative (like charges), they repel. If each has zero charge, there is no electric force of attraction or repulsion as Coulomb's law \(F = k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^{2}}\) (where \(q_1\) and \(q_2\) are charges) would give \(F = 0\) when \(q_1=q_2 = 0\).

Answer:

A. One particle having a positive charge and the other a negative charge
