Question

Describe the direction of the electric force between two opposite charges, between two like charges, and when a charge is in an electric field.

Answer 1

Answer:

A metal sphere is neutral because it has an equal number of protons and electrons. Draw how the charges in the sphere are redistributed when a negatively charged rod is brought near it.

Answer 2

Answer:

two opposite charges: The force between them would be attractive. In the electric field the lines pointing outward from the positively charged particle would go toward the negatively charged particle  

two like charges: The force would repulse each other. In the electric field the lines would avoid each other.
