Question

True or False?
S1: Similar charge attracts each other.
S2: Similar charge repels each other.

• A. True, True
• B. True, false
• C. False, True
• D. false, false

Answer 1

The correct option is C False, True

There are 2 types of electrical charges - positive and negative - are said to be opposite types of charge. Consistent with our fundamental principle of charge interaction, a positively charged object will attract a negatively charged object. Oppositely charged objects will exert an attractive influence upon each other. In contrast to the attractive force between two objects with opposite chargess, two objects that are of like charge will repel each other. That is, a positively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second positively charged object. This repulsive force will push the two objects apart. Similarly, a negatively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second negatively charged object. Objects with like charge repel each other.
Hence, the statement is false.
