A negatively charged rod is brought near a metal can that rests on a wood table. You touch the opposite side of the can momentarily with your finger. The can then becomes
Positively charged
A difference between electric and gravitational forces is that electric forces include
Repulsive interactions
Two charged particles near each other are released. As they move, the force on each particle increases. Therefore, the particles have
The opposite sign
