To determine which interactions will have an attractive electrical force, we need to analyze the charges of the objects involved in each interaction.

An attractive electrical force occurs between opposite charges (positive and negative), while like charges (both positive or both negative) will repel each other.

Let's evaluate each interaction:

  • Interaction A: +4 and -3

    • This involves a positive charge and a negative charge, so the force is attractive.

  • Interaction B: +1 and -1

    • This also involves a positive charge and a negative charge, so this force is attractive as well.

  • Interaction C: +1 and +1

    • This involves two positive charges, so the force is repulsive.

  • Interaction D: -1 and -1

    • This involves two negative charges, so the force is also repulsive.

From this analysis:

  • Attractive interactions: A and B
  • Repulsive interactions: C and D

Therefore, the correct response regarding which interactions will have an attractive electrical force is:

Interaction A and B.
