Which is the example of action-at-a-distance force?

1. Electrostatic force
2. Nuclear force
3. Frictional force

"

Solution:

Like gravity, the electrostatic force also "acts at a distance". Electrostatic forces are very large, far greater than the force of gravity. Unlike gravity, there are two types of electric charge, (gravity only attracts).

Unlike charges attract while like charges repel

Examples of action-at-a-distance forces include gravitational forces. For example, the sun and planets exert a gravitational pull on each other despite their large spatial separation.

From given options the first one is correct

An example of an action-at-a-distance force is Electrostatic force
