how do charged objects behave in magnetic and electrostatic non-contact forces? Different charges (+ and -) will____

1. repel
2. attract

1 answer

In electrostatic interactions, charged objects behave according to the principle that opposite charges attract and like charges repel. Here's how it works:

  1. Two Positive Charges (+ and +): They will repel each other.
  2. Two Negative Charges (- and -): They will also repel each other.
  3. One Positive Charge (+) and One Negative Charge (-): They will attract each other.

In terms of your question about charged objects and their behavior:

  • Different charges (+ and -) will attract.

Now, regarding magnetic forces, the behavior of magnets follows a similar pattern:

  1. Two North Poles (N and N): They will repel each other.
  2. Two South Poles (S and S): They will also repel each other.
  3. One North Pole (N) and One South Pole (S): They will attract each other.

In summary:

  • Charged objects with different charges (one positive, one negative) will attract each other.
  • Magnetic poles with different types (north and south) will also attract each other.
