An object with a charge of +1 C is 10 mm from an object with a charge of +1 C. Based on the data in the table, which type and amount of electrical force will there most likely be between the two objects?

Question

attractive, strong
repulsive, strong
repulsive, negative
attractive, weak

Answer 1

Two objects with the same charge (in this case, both are +1 C) will experience a repulsive force due to the nature of electric charges. Like charges repel each other.

The distance between the two charges (10 mm) is relatively small, and since both charges are relatively large (1 C), the force between them would be considered strong.

Therefore, the correct answer is repulsive, strong.
