$The diagram above illustrates two charged bodies, X and Y separated by a distance r. Each body has charge q and mass m. Which of the following statements about the electrostatic force $F_{e}$ and gravitational force $F_{g}$ acting between the bodies is correct?$

The diagram above illustrates two charged bodies, X and Y separated by a distance r. Each body has charge q and mass m. Which of the following statements about the electrostatic force $F_{e}$ and gravitational force $F_{g}$ acting between the bodies is correct?

$F_{e}$ is attraction while $F_{g}$ is repulsion

Both $F_{e}$ and $F_{g}$ are that of repulsion

Both $F_{e}$ and $F_{g}$ is that of attraction

$F_{e}$ is repulsion while $F_{g}$ is attraction

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is D

electrostatic force can be repulsive or attractive and gravitational force is only attractive.
