Question

Select all that apply.

Which of the following statements are true?
Positively charged objects attract other positively charged objects,
Negatively charged objects attract other negotively charged objects
Positively charged objects attract negatively charged objects,
Positively charged objects attract neutral objects,
Negatively charged objects attract neutral objects

Answer 1

Positive + Negative

Negative + Neutral

Positive + Neutral

Explanation: The other answer is false, charged objects do attract neutral objects by virtue of pulling or pushing electrons away ( negative pushes away the electrons and positive pulls)

thats how static electricity works

Answer 2

Positively charged objects attract negatively charged objects,

Step-by-step explanation:

When there are two electric charges, the force between them is:

- repulsive if the two charges have same sign (positive-positive or negative-negative)

- attractive if the two charges have opposite signs (positive-negative)

Moreover, a neutral object does not exert/experience any force on/from charged objects.

Keeping in mind these facts, we have:

Positively charged objects attract other positively charged objects, --> false, force is repulsive

Negatively charged objects attract other negotively charged objects --> false, force is repulsive

Positively charged objects attract negatively charged objects, --> true, force is attractive

Positively charged objects attract neutral objects, --> false, there is no force

Negatively charged objects attract neutral objects --> false, there is no force
