Detailed explanation-1: -The attractive force between the electrons and the nucleus is called the electric force. Experiments have shown that the electric force between two objects is proportional to the inverse square of the distance between the two objects.

Detailed explanation-2: -But a proton and an electron attract each other. Another way of saying this is that the same or “like” charges repel one another and opposite charges attract one another. Since opposite charges attract each other, the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged protons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Coulomb force, also called electrostatic force or Coulomb interaction, attraction or repulsion of particles or objects because of their electric charge.

Detailed explanation-4: -Electric forces are repulsive for objects of like charge and attractive between objects of the opposite type of charge or between charged objects and neutral objects.
