Question

Describe an experiment to show that the like charges repel each other while the unlike charges attract.

Answer 1

If the electrified silk cloth or the ebonite rod are brought near to each other then they will repel each other but when electrified silk cloth and glass rod are brought together then they attract each other. The charges on the electrified silk cloth and ebonite rod are negatives while on glass rod, it's positive so we can say that like charges repel each other while unlike charges attract each other.
