GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Any charged object-whether positively charged or negatively charged-will have an attractive interaction with a neutral object. Positively charged objects and neutral objects attract each other; and negatively charged objects and neutral objects attract each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Electric charge comes in two varieties, which we call positive and negative. Like charges repel each other, and unlike charges attract each other. Thus, two positive charges repel each other, as do two negative charges. A positive charge and a negative charge attract each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -The neutral object is repelled from the charged object because the negatively charged object repels the electrons within the neutral object and the positive charges do not move within the neutral object.

Detailed explanation-4: -If a positively charged body is brought near to a neutral or uncharged body, it induces a negative charge on the near side and a positive charge on the far side of the neutral object. This creates a force of attraction between the two bodies.

Detailed explanation-5: -Like charges repel each other; unlike charges attract. Thus, two negative charges repel one another, while a positive charge attracts a negative charge. The attraction or repulsion acts along the line between the two charges. The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges.
