- if a proton (+) and an electron (-) come near each other they: image of electric field lines between a + and - charge options: will explode, will repel, will have no interaction, will attract
In physics, the fundamental principle of electric charges states that opposite charges attract each other. A proton has a positive charge (+) and an electron has a negative charge (-), so when they come near each other, they will attract. The other options are incorrect: protons and electrons don't explode when near each other, like charges repel (but proton and electron have opposite charges), and they do interact (so "will have no interaction" is wrong).
