Can two similarly charged bodies attract each other?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To answer the question of whether two similarly charged bodies can attract each other, we need to analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Charge Interaction**: - Two similarly charged bodies (both positively charged or both negatively charged) typically repel each other due to the electrostatic force. This is described by Coulomb's law, which states that like charges repel and opposite charges attract. 2. **Induction Phenomenon**: ...
