Because one is a source, the other is a sink at the bottom of a deep ocean.
Unlike charges have a Bernoulli flow between them.
One is a source - the other is a sink
This leads to their apparent attraction.
In reality they are being

The trouble with the maths is that it kills all vestige of the real world
