Question

Two charged objects are brought into close proximity. Select the most appropriate statement from the options given.

  1. Objects attract
  2. Objects repel
  3. Objects attract or repel depending on the type of charges they carry
  4. There will be no effect

The correct answer is: Objects attract or repel depending on the type of charges they carry


    Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other. When two charged objects are brought into close proximity, they attract or repel depending on the type of charges they carry.
