Given thestatement:

Two objects with the same type of charge attract each other.

Let's determine if the statement is true or false.

According to Coulomb's law, like charges repel, whereas unlike charges attract each other.

For example, two negative charges which are like charges will repel each other while a negative and a positive charge which are two opposite charges will attract each other.

Therefore, two objects with the same type of charge will not attract each other, rather they will repel each other.

Hence, the correct choice is false.

ANSWER:

False.
