Responses

The arrows are indicating an attractive force towards each other.
The arrows are indicating an attractive force towards each other.

These arrows are indicating a repelling force away from each other.
These arrows are indicating a repelling force away from each other.

There is no force.

Answer 1

The direction of the arrows typically indicates how the electrostatic force behaves between charged objects. If the arrows are pointing towards each other, this suggests an **attractive force**. If the arrows are pointing away from each other, this indicates a **repelling force**.

Based on your question, if the arrows are indicating an attractive force towards each other, the correct response would be:

**The arrows are indicating an attractive force towards each other.**

If they are pointing away from each other, then the correct response would be:

**These arrows are indicating a repelling force away from each other.**

Make sure to align the interpretation with the actual direction of the arrows in your context.
