Can two similarly charged bodies attract each other?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes when the charge on one body `(q_(1))` is much greater than that on the other `(q_(2))` and they are close enough to each other so that force of attraction between `q_(1)` and induced charge on the other exceeds force of repulsion between `q_(1)` and `q_(2)`
