Question
State the basic law of electrostatics.
Answer
Like charges repel while unlike charges attract.
Charges of the same sign (both positive or both negative) will experience a repulsive force when brought close together, while charges of opposite signs (one positive and one negative) will experience an attractive force, causing them to come closer together.
