I have 2 charged spheres each hanging from string as shown in the picture below.
Figure 1
Choose the correct answer from the options below: The spheres will
5.1
swing towards each other due to the attractive electrostatic force between them.
5.2
swing away from each other due to the attractive electrostatic force between them.
5.3
swing towards each other due to the repulsive electrostatic force between them.
5.4
swing away from each other due to the repulsive electrostatic force between them.
Answer: 5.4
6.
swing away from each other due to the repulsive electrostatic force between
them.
