Question

If the two charges are similar, then Coulomb's law implies that the force F is:
Options
A attractive
B repulsive
Correct Answer
C neutral
D attractive and repulsive
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Coulomb's Law describes the electrostatic force between charged particles. A fundamental principle of electrostatics is that like charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract. Therefore, if the two charges are similar (both positive or both negative), the force between them will be repulsive.

Hint

Remember the basic principle of how like charges interact.
