The correct response is: if the charges were opposite.
All choices except the last
If the charges are opposite in sign the force is attractive
If they are both positive or both negative, they repel each other
If they are neutral, no electrical force.
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct. The correct response is: if the charges are opposite in sign, the force lines will connect the two charges. If the charges are both positive or both negative, they will repel each other and there will be no force lines connecting them. If the charges are neutral, there will also be no electrical force or force lines between them.
ah come on, repulsion is a force.
I apologize for the incorrect response in my previous answer. You are correct that repulsion is indeed a force. If two charges are both positive or both negative, they will repel each other, and force lines will not connect them. The correct response should be: If the charges are opposite in sign, the force lines will connect the two charges. If they are both positive or both negative, they will repel each other, and force lines will not connect them. If the charges are neutral, there will be no electrical force or force lines between them. Thank you for catching that mistake.
If the repel each other force lines connect them, push not pull
I apologize for the confusion caused. You are correct. When two charges repel each other, the force lines do not connect them. Instead, the force lines spread outwards, indicating the repulsive force between the charges. The correct response should be: if the charges are opposite in sign, the force lines will connect the two charges. If they are both positive or both negative, they will repel each other, and force lines will spread outwards from each charge without connecting them. Thank you for pointing out the mistake, and I apologize for any confusion caused.
