Gravitational forces are always attractive. Electrical charges are repulsive for same-type charges, and attractive for opposite-types.

What are the attractive forces of plasma?

The attractive forces are electrical forces between opposing charges.


Difference between electric forces and gravitational forces is that electrical forces include?

In case of electric force there are both repulsive and attractive. But in case of gravitational force, only attractive force. Electrical force between electric charges. Gravitational force between masses. In electric force we use a constant known as permittivity of the medium. But in gravitational force a universal constant known as Gravitational constant is used. Electrical force is very much greater than gravitational force.


How the forces between neutral atoms are formed?

the forces between nuclear atoms are formed from the balance of equal opposite charges resulting to polarity


Explain how the dielectric material or medium of electrical charges affect the value of potential energy?

the dielectric placed between the positive and negative plates of a capacitor prevents the collapse of plates due to so strong attractive forces between them and retains the potential difference between the plates.....


Is a negative object attracting a neutral object considered magnetism?

"Negative" and "positive" are terms used with electrical forces, not with magnetic forces."Negative" and "positive" are terms used with electrical forces, not with magnetic forces."Negative" and "positive" are terms used with electrical forces, not with magnetic forces."Negative" and "positive" are terms used with electrical forces, not with magnetic forces.

Does the coulomb force that one charge exerts on other charges change if the other charges are brought nearby?

First of all, one charge doesn't exert force on other charges. The forces always occur in pairs ... a pair of equal and opposite forces between every two charges. The strength of those forces is proportional to the product of the two charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two charges. So yes, if the distance between two charges were to change, then the coulomb force between them would change. If new, additional charges happen along, then there are forces between every two charges present. The forces between the original two don't change.


When the distance between two charges is halved the electric force between the charges?

The forces in each direction are quadrupled.
