Object A has a charge of –1 Coulomb. At a given distance, the object with which charge would be most strongly attracted by object A?(1 point)Responses–1 C–1 C+2 C+2 C–2 C–2 C+1 C

1 answer

The force between two charged objects is described by Coulomb's law, which states that like charges repel and opposite charges attract. Object A has a charge of –1 Coulomb, so it will be most strongly attracted to an object with a positive charge.

Among the options provided:

  • –1 C (negative charge) would repel
  • +2 C (positive charge) would attract
  • –2 C (negative charge) would repel
  • +1 C (positive charge) would attract

Since charges of greater magnitude exert a stronger force, the charge that would be most strongly attracted by object A (–1 C) is +2 C.
