Answer 1

To determine which interactions will have an attractive electrical force, we can use the rule that opposite charges attract and like charges repel.

Let's analyze each interaction:

• Interaction A (+4 and -3): Opposite charges → Attractive
• Interaction B (+1 and -1): Opposite charges → Attractive
• Interaction C (+1 and +1): Like charges → Repulsive
• Interaction D (-1 and -1): Like charges → Repulsive

Based on this analysis:

• Interactions A and B will have an attractive electrical force.

Thus, the correct response is: Interaction A and B.
