Question

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

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Coulomb's law states that like charges repel each other, and opposite charges attract each other. If the two charges are similar (both positive or both negative), the force between them will be repulsive.

Hint

Like charges repel, opposite charges attract.
