A. Like charges repel.
B. Unlike charges repel.
C. Unlike charges attract
D. Charged objects attract neutral objects due to induction

Answer 1

I believe A,C, and D are correct

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Charges which are alike or similar are repulsive in nature or we can say that like charges repel each other.

Whereas opposite or unlike charges attract each other.

On the other hand, when a charged object is brought in contact with a neutral object then the neutral object acquires an opposite charge which reads to attraction between both the objects. This process of inducing the charge is known as induction.

Thus, we can conclude that the following statements are true.

• Like charges repel.

• Unlike charges attract.

• Charged objects attract neutral objects due to induction.
