Two charged objects are separated by some distance. The charge on the first object is greater than the charge on the second object. How do the forces that the two objects exert on each other compare? The second object exerts a large electrostatic force on the first object. The charged objects exert electrostatic forces on each other that are equal in magnitude and pointing in the same direction. The charged objects exert electrostatic forces on each other that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The first object exerts a large electrostatic force on the second object.
