ATOM AND ITS FORCESBasic Electrical TheoryCharged objects repel or attract each other because of the way these fields act together. Thisforce is present with every charged object. When two objects of opposite charge are broughtnear one another, the electrostatic field is concentrated in the area between them, as shown inFigure 5. The direction of the small arrows shows the direction of the force as it would act uponan electron if it were released into the electric field.When two objects of like charge are brought near one another, the lines of force repel each other,Figure 5 Electrostatic Field Between Two Charges of Opposite Polarityas shown in Figure 6.Figure 6 Electrostatic Field Between Two Charges of Like PolarityES-01 Page 4 Rev. 0
