What happens when unlike charges come in contact?
When unlike charges come in contact, electrons transfer from the object with excess electrons (negative charge) to the object lacking electrons (positive charge). This equalizes the charge between the two objects, resulting in a neutral charge overall.
What happens when two similar charges come together?
When two similar charges come together, they repel each other due to the electrostatic force of repulsion. This force is a fundamental property of charges with the same polarity, causing them to push away from each other.
What happens when two objects with unlike charges come together?
That depends on what the charges are. There's an easy rule: opposites attract. So if one is positive and one is negative, they'll be attracted (the greater the charges, the greater the attraction), while if they are both positive or both negative, they'll be repelled (again, the greater the charges, the more they'll be repelled).
Why is the potential energy of two like charges positive and two unlike charges negative?
The potential energy of two like charges is positive because work must be done to bring them together against their natural repulsion. Conversely, the potential energy of two unlike charges is negative because work is released when they come together and move into a lower potential energy state.
What happens when charged polythene rod come close together?
When charged polythene rods are brought close together, they will experience a force of either attraction or repulsion depending on whether they have the same or opposite charges. Like charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract. This behavior is governed by the principle of electrostatic force.

What do objects with unlike charges do?
Objects with unlike charges attract each other due to the electrostatic force of attraction between them. This force pulls the objects towards each other until they come into contact, neutralizing the charges.
Why is the potential energy of two like charges positive and two unlike charges negative?
The potential energy of two like charges is positive because work must be done to bring them together against their natural repulsion. Conversely, the potential energy of two unlike charges is negative because work is released when they come together and move into a lower potential energy state.
What happens when like charges come near each other?
they repel

Objects with unlike charges are neutral to each other?
Objects with unlike charges are attracted to each other due to the electrostatic force of attraction. When they come into contact, electrons may transfer from one object to another, resulting in both objects becoming neutral. This process aims to balance out the charges and reach a state of equilibrium.
Why do unlike charges attract each other?
"Hold on...did you say like charges repel and unlike charges attract?" Yes, but this is really due to a different force, the electromagnetic force, which we will talk about at a different door. Even so, we will introduce this by an example. Hopefully you'll be familiar with this example. Have you ever put two magnets together and instead of coming together, they had to be pushed together? Magnets are composed of north poles and south poles. One can think of a north pole as being a positive charge and a south pole as a negative charge. North poles attract south poles like positive charges attract negative charges. Furthermore, like poles repel as like charges repel. But, there is a difference; you can never get a magnet with just a north pole or just a south pole. Even if the magnet is broken up into many tiny pieces, EVERY piece will have a north pole and a south pole. When two like poles are pushed together, they usually flip over so that the north pole and south pole come together. Now you have observed two facts at the same time; like poles repel (like "charges" repel) and unlike poles (unlike "charges") attract. Go ahead, take a bite out this new knowledge and experiment yourself. Try playing with the repelling and attracting properties of poles ("charges") with some magnets!
What happens when silence and space come together?
You get to relax....
What happens when two charged objects come closer together?
When two charged objects come closer together, they can either attract or repel each other depending on the types of charges they possess. Objects with opposite charges (positive and negative) will attract each other, while objects with the same charge (positive and positive, or negative and negative) will repel each other due to the electric force between them.
When a ionic compounds form the ions come together in a way that balances out the charges on the ion?
Yes.
