Question

Select the correct answer. What happens when a negatively charged object A is brought near a neutral object B? A. Object B gets a negative charge. B. Object B gets a positive charge. C. Object B stays neutral but becomes polarized. D. Object A gets a positive charge. E. Object A loses all its charge.

Answer 1

What happens when a negatively charged object A is brought near a neutral object B is that: B. Object B gets a positive charge.

The law of electrostatic forces.

According to the law of electrostatic forces, unlike charges attract each other while like charges repel one another.

This ultimately implies that, objects that are having the same charges (like charges) would repel one another, and this causes a transfer of electrons (charges) to any differently charged object which comes in contact with it, through a process known as conduction.

In this context, we can reasonably and logically deduce that the negative charge of object A would induce an opposite charge (positive) on object B when a negatively charged object A is brought near a neutral object B.
