Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The push or pull between charged objects is an
A
electric force
B
electric discharge
C
electric field
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electrostatic forces are non-contact forces; they pull or push on objects without touching them. Rubbing some materials together can result in something called ‘charge’ being moved from one surface to the other. Charged objects pull on other uncharged objects and may either push or pull on other charged objects.

Detailed explanation-2: -The electric force between charged bodies at rest is conventionally called electrostatic force or Coulomb force.

Detailed explanation-3: -We also need to know something about the force that causes the electrons to move directionally (current) in an electrical circuit. This force is called electromotive force, EMF, or voltage (V).

Detailed explanation-4: -Electric force is the attractive force between the electrons and the nucleus. Now, a positive charge or a negative charge creates a field in the empty space around it, and we call that empty space an electric field.

Detailed explanation-5: -Electric force exists between charges, as described by Coulomb’s Law.
