Coulomb's Law equation is:Ā Ā FEĀ = kq1q2/r2In this expression,Ā Ā FEĀ Ā is the electric force between chargesĀ q1Ā  andĀ q2Ā separated by distanceĀ r.When the signs of the chargesĀ are included forĀ q1Ā  andĀ q2Ā , the evaluation of Coulomb's Law equation can yield a positive or negative answer forĀ FE .What is the appropriate interpretation of the sign of the numeric evaluation of FEĀ ?(A) If FE is negative, the charges are attracting.(B) If FE is positive, the charges are attracting.

Respuesta :

We know like charges repel amd unlike charges attract.

Thus if one charge is positive and other is negative then both charges will attract each other.

So if the force is negative , the charges are attracting.

Thus the answer is:

(A) If FE is negative, the charges are attracting.
