It should be noted that when two objects with unlike charges are brought near each other, there will be a combination of their electric field lines showing that the objects attract each other. An electric field simply means the physical field that surrounds the particles that are electrically charged and then exerts forces on the other particles in the field. It should be noted that positively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second positively charged object. This repulsive force will push the two objects apart. In conclusion, unlike charges attract each other.
