What happens when two electrons get close together?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the behavior of two electrons when they are brought close to one another, specifically regarding the forces and interactions that occur between them due to their charge.

Answer

They repel each other due to electrostatic repulsion.

When two electrons get close together, they repel each other due to electrostatic repulsion.

Answer for screen readers

When two electrons get close together, they repel each other due to electrostatic repulsion.

More Information

This repulsion occurs because both electrons have a negative charge, and according to Coulomb's law, like charges repel each other with a force that diminishes with the square of the distance between them.
