Step-by-step explanation:

  • As per the law of electrostatics, two positive or negative charge repel each other while two opposite charge attract each other.
  • In this case, a positively charged object is placed to the left of a negatively charged object. It would mean that the positive charge move in the direction of negative charge, so as to attract each other.
  • Hence, the positively charged object will move to the right.
