The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the nature of the force between two charges \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) when both charges are greater than zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Charges**: Given that \( q_1 q_2 > 0 \), this means that the product of the two charges is positive. This can occur in two scenarios: - Both charges are positive: \( q_1 > 0 \) and \( q_2 > 0 \) - Both charges are negative: \( q_1 < 0 \) and \( q_2 < 0 \) 2. **Applying Coulomb's Law**: According to Coulomb's Law, the force \( F \) between two point charges is given by the formula: \[ F = k \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2} \] where \( k \) is Coulomb's constant and \( r \) is the distance between the charges. 3. **Determining the Nature of the Force**: - If both charges are positive (\( q_1 > 0 \) and \( q_2 > 0 \)), they will repel each other because like charges repel. - If both charges are negative (\( q_1 < 0 \) and \( q_2 < 0 \)), they will also repel each other for the same reason. 4. **Conclusion**: In both scenarios where \( q_1 q_2 > 0 \), the force between the two charges is repulsive. Therefore, the nature of the force when \( q_1 q_2 > 0 \) is **repulsive**. ### Final Answer: The nature of the force is **repulsive**. ---
