Repulses

Repulses are a fundamental concept in physics, describing the force that pushes two objects apart. This phenomenon is most commonly observed in the interaction between like electric charges, where positive charges repel other positive charges, and negative charges repel other negative charges. Similarly, the strong nuclear force, responsible for holding atomic nuclei together, also exhibits repulsive aspects at very short distances, preventing protons from getting too close and causing the nucleus to collapse.

Magnetic poles also demonstrate repulsion, with like poles (north-north or south-south) pushing against each other. This principle is utilized in various technologies, such as magnetic levitation trains. In a broader sense, repulsion can be understood as an interaction that increases the distance between objects.

The strength of repulsive forces often depends on factors like the distance between the objects and the magnitude of their charges or magnetic strengths. For electric charges, this relationship is described by Coulomb's Law. Understanding repulsion is crucial for comprehending the structure of matter, the behavior of particles, and the design of numerous technological applications.
