Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The interaction between two oppositely charged objects is ____
A
Attractive
B
Repulsive
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These two types of electrical charges-positive and negative-are said to be opposite types of charge. And consistent with our fundamental principle of charge interaction, a positively charged object will attract a negatively charged object.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coulomb force, also called electrostatic force or Coulomb interaction, attraction or repulsion of particles or objects because of their electric charge.

Detailed explanation-3: -If a positive charge and a negative charge interact, their forces act in the same direction, from the positive to the negative charge. As a result opposite charges attract each other: The electric field and resulting forces produced by two electrical charges of opposite polarity.

Detailed explanation-4: -The attractive or repulsive interaction between any two charged objects is an electric force. Like any force, its effect upon objects is described by Newton’s laws of motion. The electric force-Felect-joins the long list of other forces that can act upon objects.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ionic bonding is the attraction between positively-and negatively-charged ions. These oppositely charged ions attract each other to form ionic networks (or lattices). Electrostatics explains why this happens: opposite charges attract and like charges repel.
