Answer 1

The statement that is true is that positively charged objects attract negatively charged objects. This is due to a law that states 'like forces attract while unlike forces repel. This same concept applies to magnetism. If you put two similar poles together, for example; if you place two south poles together. You feel a separating force between the two poles. But if you place two opposite poles together they attract each other. Hope i helped.
