Question

If two charged bodies attract each other, what could the nature of charges present on them be?

Answer 1

1. There are two types of charges - positive charge and negative charge
2. When charges are of the same nature they repel each other.

For example- A positive-positive charge will repel each other and a negative-negative charge will repel each other.

1. When charges are of a different nature they attract each other.
