Coulomb's Law is a mathematical representation of the electric force between two objects. When solving for electric force, a student gets a negative answer. What does this indicate about the two objects?

a
They are oppositely charged and attracted to one another.
b
They have like charges and are repulsed by one another.
c
They are oppositely charged and are repulsed by one another.
d
They have like charges and attracted to one another.

They have like charges and are repulsed by one another.
