What did early experiments and Coulomb’s Law describe? Select all that apply.

Like charges attract and opposite charges repel.

Like charges repel and opposite charges attract.

The further away two charged objects are the stronger the electrical force between them.

The further away two charged objects are the weaker the electrical force between them.

The closer two charged objects are the weaker the electrical force between them.

The closer two charged objects are the stronger the electrical force between them.

Answer:

Option (2), (4), (6)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the properties of charges, two like charges repel each other and two unlike charges attract each other.

If two positive or two negative charges kept at a distance, then they repel each other.

If one positive and one negative charges kept at a distance, they always attract each other.

Now according to the Coulomb's law, the force between the two charges, is directly proportional to the product of two charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

So, farther the two charges, weaker is the force.

And closer the two charges, stronger is the force.
