Question

which will a positively charged object attract?

an object that has a negative charge
an object that has a smaller positive charge
an object that has no charge
an object that has a larger positive charge

Explanation:

To determine what a positively charged object attracts, we use the principle of electric charges: opposite charges attract, and like charges repel. A positively charged object will attract a negatively charged object (opposite charges). Positively charged objects repel other positively charged objects (regardless of charge magnitude), and a neutral object is not attracted by a charged object in the same way as an oppositely charged object (the attraction to neutral is weaker and due to induction, but the main rule for direct attraction here is opposite charges). So the correct option is the one with a negative charge.

Answer:

A. an object that has a negative charge
