What would a negative value for Fe mean?
A
The particles are moving away from each other
B
The particles have the same charge
C
The particles have opposite charges
D
The particles are moving towards each other
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to Coulomb, the electric force for charges at rest has the following properties: Like charges repel each other; unlike charges attract. Thus, two negative charges repel one another, while a positive charge attracts a negative charge. The attraction or repulsion acts along the line between the two charges.

Detailed explanation-2: -The resulting “+” and “-” signs on F signifies whether the force is attractive (a “-” F value) or repulsive (a “+” F value). Two balloons with charges of +3.37 µC and-8.21 µC attract each other with a force of 0.0626 Newton.

Detailed explanation-3: -A negative force implies an attractive force. The force is directed along the line joining the two charges.

Detailed explanation-4: -Direction of electric force Opposite charges, such as a positive charge and a negative charge, attract each other. Like charges, such as two negative charges or two positive charges, will repel each other.
