How does the Coulomb force affect charge interactions? (1 point)

Question

• Like and opposite charges repel.
• Like charges altract, and opposite charges repel.
• Like charges repel, and opposite charges attract.
• Like and opposite charges altract.

Answer 1

The correct statement is: "Like charges repel, and opposite charges attract."

In Coulomb's law, like charges (e.g., both positive or both negative) exert a repulsive force on each other, while opposite charges (one positive and one negative) exert an attractive force.
