Best Answer

An electrostatic charge is caused by donating additional electrons to an object, or stripping electrons from an object. This gives the item a negative charge or positive charge, respectively. Two items of like charges repel each other.

The electric field between the two objects decreases, thus the potenital energy/ifference decreases if the two objects have the same charge ex: positive and positive

What is the force that pushes object apart?

There's no force that pushes electrically neutral objects apart, but if the objects in question have a net charge, then the force known as electromagnetism will either push similarly charged objects apart, or pull oppositely charged objects together.


How does the electric force between two charged objects change as the move apart?

weaker as square of distance


What happens to the gravitational force between two objects reduced?

The gravitational force will get less if you move the objects further apart.


What two charged objects are made to touch each other and then separate?

In contrast to the attractive force between two objects with opposite charges, two objects that are of like charge will repel each other. That is, a positively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second positively charged object. This repulsive force will push the two objects apart.


What will happen if the the same charged object come together?

The electrostatic forces between two objects that have the same kind of charge act in the direction to push the objects apart.


When space objects move farther apart what happens to the gravity between them?

Theoreticly, it gets weaker.


Which action produces a decrease in both the electrical force and gravitational force between 2 charged objects?

Move the objects farther apart, f= k/r2 df= -2k/r3 dr


What happens to the torque when two unbalanced objects equal distant on either side of the fulcrum are moved apart?

it can suck my dick.


What happens when a charged particle is placed in an electric field of another particle with the same charge?

There is a force repelling the two charges apart.


What happens when objects are moved further apart from each other?

One thing that could happen is that the force that acts between them decreases.


What happens when two forces act in opposite directions with the same amount of force?

If this happens then they will get pushed apart. Otherwise nothing really will happen unless there is objects at the end were it is pushing.


What happens to salt when it's in water?

since salt is ionically bonded, it breaks apart into its anions and cations (+ and - charged ions) and becomes part of the aqueous solution.
