Difference between Like and Unlike charges
Electric charges are of two types positive and negative. The charges which carries protons are positive charges and charges which carries electrons are negative charges. The positive charge and negative charge are opposite of each other, difference between them is as follows.
Like charges | Unlike charges |
1) Like charges are charges with same sign i.e positive-positive or negative-negative sign.
2) In this electric field lines are not intersect with each other. 3) Like charges revoke each other. 4) Example: +ve +ve or -ve -ve |
1) Unlike charges are charges with opposite sign i.e negative positive or positive negative sign.
2) In this electric field lines are intersect with each other. 3) Unlike charges attracts each other. 4) Example: +ve –ve or –ve +ve |
