Detailed Solution

Charge is an intrinsic property of matter due to which an electric field may be experienced. There are two types of charges, one is positive charge and the other is negative charge.
The same charges repel each other and opposite charges attract each other.
If two positive or two negative charges are brought near each other then both will repel each other but if a positive charge is brought near a negative charge then both will attract each other.
Therefore, if two charged bodies are brought close together then they may attract or repel, depending on the type of charge they carry.
