Question

Object a has a positive charge after object a touches object b A still has a positive charge and the same amount of charge what can you infer about the charge of b

Answer 1

Answer:

Object B has a neutral charge

Explanation:

Object A still maintains the kind and quantity of charges it has because object B neither gives nor receives charges from it.

Like charges repel, unlike charges attract, but an interaction between a neutral and positive charge causes attraction without changing the quantity and king of charge originally present.

Answer 2

Answer:

We can infer that the charge on object B is Neutrally charged.

Explanation:

From the above we can assume object B is neutral and was charged by induction.

During the process of charging by conduction, both objects A and B acquire the same type of charge after contact.

It follows the rule that says that if a positively charged object A is used to charge a neutral object B, then both objects A & B become charged positively charged.
