Detailed explanation-1: -If two objects with static charge are attracted, what do you know about them? They are both positively charged.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the time positive and negative charges are balanced in an object, which makes that object neutral. Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges can build up on the surface of an object until they find a way to be released or discharged.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -If two positive charges interact, their forces are directed against each other. This creates a repellent force as shown in the illustration.
Detailed explanation-5: -What will happen if you bring two objects that have static electricity close to one another? Oppositely charged objects will attract, or move towards each other.
