Question

What is true about the force between charges?

Check all that apply.

A. Like charges repel each other.

B. Like charges attract each other.

]

C. Opposite charges repel each other.

O D. The force between charges decreases as the distance between

them increases.

Answer 1

Answer: opposite charges attracts each other & like charges repel each other

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The statements A and D are true

The statements B and C are false

Step-by-step explanation:

The force between charges can be explained by the Coulomb's Law.

According to Coulomb:

1 - Like charges always repel each other

2- Unlike or opposite charges always attrack each other

3- Force between 2 charges is given by:

`F=k(q_1q_2)/(r^2)`

where F is the force between 2 charges and r is the distance between 2 charges.

We can see that Force F is inversely proportional to the distance r

Which means that when F increase, r decreases and when F decreases, r increases
