What will occur when an object with a positive charge is moved toward an object with a negative charge A Attraction Repulsion C Nothing

## Step 1This problem is about the basic principles of electrostatics, a branch of physics. According to Coulomb's Law, the force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.### **Coulomb's Law: **where is the force, is Coulomb's constant, and are the charges, and is the distance between the charges.## Step 2The force is attractive if the charges are opposite (one positive and one negative), and repulsive if the charges are the same (both positive or both negative).## Step 3In this case, the object with a positive charge is moved toward an object with a negative charge. Since the charges are opposite, the force between them will be attractive.
