Which of these is a type of force discussed in Coulomb's law?

  • Attractive

  • Tensile

  • Compressive

  • Shear

Answer

Attractive force is a type of interaction between charged particles described by Coulomb's law. It states that the force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force is attractive when the charges have opposite signs and repulsive when they have the same sign.
