Three objects experience interactions.Object A has mass,object B has electrical charge,and object C has both mass and electrical charge.Object A and object B have a rope connected between them.Which of the following statements are true?
A) the electrical force on A due to B has the same magnitude as the gravitational force on B due to A
B) the gravitational force on C due to A has the same magnitude as the gravitational force on A due to C
C) the rope force on A due to B has the same magnitude as the electrical force on B due to A
D) the rope force on B due to A has the same magnitude as the gravitational force on A due to C

According to Newton's third law, the gravitational force between two objects is always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Therefore, the gravitational force on C due to A has the same magnitude as the gravitational force on A due to C. The other statements are not necessarily true as the magnitudes of electrical forces and rope forces depend on the specific properties of the interacting objects.
