a. How do like charges behave toward each other?
b. How do unlike charges behave toward each other?
To explain: The behavior of like charges towards each other.
Answer to Problem 7A
Repel each other
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: If there are two charges then the force between them is known as Coulomb force. Coulomb force is directly proportional to the product of two charges. And this force is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two.
Like or similar charges repel each other. This means if there are two positive charges they repel. If there are two negative charges they also repel.
