Question

In an experiment, a charged object attracts another object. What can be understood from this?

• A. The attracted object must be oppositely charged.
• B. The attracted object must be similarly charged.
• C. The attracted object must be uncharged.
• D. The nature of charges can't be predicted.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

The attracted object must be oppositely charged.

When a charged object attracts the other object, it implies that the attracted object is oppositely charged. Attraction takes place between opposite charges i.e. like charges repel and opposite charges attracts each other.
