LIKE charges REPEL
UNLIKE charges ATTRACT.
NB Think of a pair of magnets. . If the two north or south poles are placed together , they repel .
However, if a north pole and a south pole are placed together , they attract.
In Chemistry ions of opposite charge attract . e.g. Na^(+) + Cl^(-) = NaCl(s)

Like charges repel each other, meaning they push away from each other. Unlike charges attract each other, meaning they pull towards each other. This behavior is governed by the fundamental force of electromagnetism.
Like charges repel each other, while unlike charges attract each other. This occurs due to the electric force, which acts between charged particles. Like charges have the same sign of charge (positive or negative), while unlike charges have different signs.
Similar charges will repel each other.
Like charges (positive-positive or negative-negative) repel each other, causing them to move apart. Unlike charges (positive-negative) attract each other, causing them to move closer together. This is due to the interaction of electric fields created by the charges.
Like charges repel because they have the same type of charge, creating a force that pushes them away from each other. Unlike charges attract because they have opposite charges, creating a force that pulls them towards each other. This can be demonstrated using simple experiments with charged objects or using mathematical equations such as Coulomb's law.
Like charges repel each other, while unlike charges attract each other. This fundamental force is known as the electrostatic force, which is responsible for the interaction between charged particles.
