What happens when a negatively charged object A is brought near a neutral object B?

Nothing would actually happen; positive repels positive and attracts negative, but neutral charges are just neutral.

Answer:

No force of interaction between positive and neutral object

Step-by-step explanation:

As per Coulomb's law we know that


F = (kq_1 q_2)/(r^2)

here we know that


q_1, q_2 = two charges on two different objects


r= distance between two objects

So here we know that when two objects are charged and placed at some distance "d" apart then the two objects will either attract or repel each other

If the charges are of similar type then the two objects will repel while if the charges are of opposite nature then two objects will attract each other

So here when a charge object is near the neutral then there is NO force between two objects
