what happens when one particle is positive? what happens when both particles are positive? what happens when you change the magnitude of the charges? what happens when the particles have different magnitudes of charge? what happens when one particle is neutral? write a reply edit view insert format tools table 12pt paragraph b i u a
When one particle is positive, if another particle is negative, they attract; if neutral, no electrostatic force acts. When both are positive, they repel due to like - charges repelling. Changing the magnitude of charges changes the strength of the electrostatic force (Coulomb's law). Different magnitudes of charge still follow attraction/repulsion rules but with varying force magnitudes. When one particle is neutral, there is no electrostatic interaction between it and a charged particle in terms of charge - related forces.

When one particle is positive: If the other is negative, they attract; if neutral, no electrostatic force.
When both particles are positive: They repel each other.
When you change the magnitude of the charges: The strength of the electrostatic force changes according to Coulomb's law.
When the particles have different magnitudes of charge: Attraction or repulsion occurs as normal but with a force magnitude depending on the charge values.
When one particle is neutral: There is no electrostatic interaction with a charged particle.
