Fundamentals of Electrostatic Forces

Very Easy Physics Electrostatics And Electromagnetism

In the field of electrostatics, charges interact with each other through electric forces. Consider two point charges, Charge A and Charge B, positioned a distance apart in a vacuum. Charge A has a positive charge, while Charge B has a negative charge. According to Coulomb's Law, which describes the fundamental principles of electric forces between charges, what can be stated about the force experienced by both charges?

The force on Charge A is attractive, while the force on Charge B is repulsive.

The forces on Charge A and Charge B are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

There is no force acting on either charge because they are stationary.

The force on Charge A is stronger than the force on Charge B.
