Question
Consider three charged bodies P, Q and R. If P and Q repel each other and P attracts R, what is the nature of force between Q and R?
Solution
Attractive.
Since, P and Q repel each other they carry the same charge. And, R is attracted by P. This implies, Q will also be attracted by R. Because, Q and R are oppositely charged.
