Specification 11.3P · Paper 2
Revise: Forces Between ChargesAttraction needs more care. Two oppositely charged objects attract, but a charged object can also attract a neutral object. Therefore, attraction alone does not prove that both objects are charged.
Do not claim that attraction proves two objects have opposite charges: a charged object can also attract a neutral object. Repulsion, however, shows that both objects are charged with the same sign.
State the direction clearly: attraction acts towards the other object; repulsion acts away from it.
