Can electromagnetic forces be attractive as well as repulsive?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Electromagnetic Forces**: Electromagnetic forces include both electrostatic forces (forces between charged particles) and magnetic forces (forces due to moving charges or currents). 2. **Electrostatic Forces**: - Electrostatic forces arise from the interaction of electric charges. - Like charges (e.g., two positive charges) repel each other, while unlike charges (e.g., a positive charge and a negative charge) attract each other. - Example: If we have two positive charges (+Q and +Q), they will repel each other. If we have a positive charge (+Q) and a negative charge (-Q), they will attract each other. ...
