Question

Explain the following types of forces. Give one example where each of these could be
found operating:
a. Magnetic force c) Electrostatic force
b. Gravitational force d) Frictional force

Answer 1

Magnetic Force: The force which have attraction and repulsion that arises between electrically charged particle because of their motion.

Example: Compass

Electrostatic Force: The electrostatic force is an attractive and repulsive force between particles are caused due to their electric charges.

Example: Nylon clothes

Gravitational force: The universal force it attraction acting between all matters.

Example: The force that holds the gases in the sun.

Frictional force: The force generated by two surfaces that contacts and slide again each other.

Example: For walking
