The property due to which substances attract or repel each other is called:
Correct answer: B. Charge
- A. Friction
- B. Charge
- C. Current
- D. Resistance
Explanation
Charge is the property of an object that displays electrostatic attraction or repulsion with other objects bearing some charge. Two positive or negative charges will repel each other whereas positive and negative charges attract each other.

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
