Define electrostatic force? What happens when:- two positive charges are brought close to each other? one positive and one negative charges are brought close to each other?
Answers
Answer:
Electrostatics is a branch of physics that studies electric charges at rest. Since classical physics, it has been known that some materials, such as amber, attract lightweight particles after rubbing.
In contrast to the attractive force between two objects with opposite charges, two objects that are of like charge will repel each other. That is, a positively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second positively charged object. This repulsive force will push the two objects apart.
Answer:
electrostatic force is also known as coulomb force. It is a attraction or replusive force between two electrically charged particles. for example: like charges repel while unlike charges attracts each other.
Explanation:
as we discussed in the example, when two positively charged particles are brought close they exert repulsive force. The repulsive force will push the two particles away. when a positive and negetive charged particles are brought close they attracts each other because they are unlike charged particles.
