Thank you We sneak then here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by the earth Well it's basically just

00:08

one big magnet All right a negatively charged particle the

00:11

size of an electron is launched toward an electron what'll

00:15

happen huh And here the potential answers Well we've all

00:20

played around with magnets at some point in our lives

00:23

Magnets as we know have a negative side and a

00:26

positive side If you put the negative side of one

magnet on the positive side of the other magnet well

00:34

the two negative sides together they'll push each other back

00:38

that's because identical charges always repel each other and opposite

00:42

charges always attract each other So in our case here

00:46

we've got two negative charges making option b the correct

00:49

choice Those particles will always repel each other Options a

00:53

and c violate basic laws of physics and the one

00:56

that's never gonna work an option D well it can

00:59

be determined so he's out Just remember opposite charges Attract 00:01:04.15 --> [endTime] and like charges repel
