Given two point charges q(1), and q(2), ...

Given two point charges `q_(1), and q_(2)`, such that `q_(1),q_(2)<0`. What is the nature of the force between them?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, one of the charges is negative and the other is positive. So force between them is attractive.
