Question

What happens when a negatively charged object A is brought near a neutral object B? A. Object B gets a negative charge. B. Object B gets a positive charge. C. Object B stays neutral but becomes polarized. D. Object A gets a positive charge. E. Object A loses all its charge.

Answer 1

Object B gets a positive charge when a negatively charged object A is brought near a neutral object B

Answer: Option B

Explanation :

When a negatively charged object A gets in contact with the neutral object B, the negative charge of object will induce the opposite charges on object B. Hence, there will be a positive charge on object B.

Therefore, induction process takes place i.e. both the charges in object A and B (positive and negative charge) will get attracted.

Answer 2

Your answer is going to be C. Object B stays neutral but becomes polarized.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nothing would happen: as a positive repels positive and attracts a negative, but neutral charges are just neutral.
