Answer:

Electrostatic force

Step-by-step explanation:

The force that acts between charged particles is called electrostatic force. Its magnitude is given by:


F=k(q_1 q_2)/(r^2)

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges

r is the distance between the two charges


Concerning the direction of the force:

- The force is attractive when the two charges have opposite signs, and

- The force is repulsive when the two charges have same sign
