When two charged particles are moving toward each other their velocities decrease until they eventually come to a stop. What happens afterward

After the charged particles come to a stop, they will experience a strong electrostatic attraction and will start moving towards each other again. This will cause their velocities to increase until they eventually collide with each other or pass very closely by each other. The exact outcome of the interaction will depend on the masses and charges of the particles, as well as the distance at which they pass each other.
