Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The force on each particle increases as they move away from each other, indicating that they are oppositely charged. If they had the same charge, the force would decrease as they move away from each other due to electrostatic repulsion. The mass and size of the particles are not relevant to this situation.
