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)

Question

+1 C
+1 C

–1 C
–1 C

–2 C
–2 C

+2 C
+2 C

Answer 1

Object A has a charge of -1 Coulomb. According to Coulomb's law, opposite charges attract each other. Therefore, object A would be most strongly attracted to the charge that has the largest positive value.

Among the options given:

• +1 C
• +2 C

The charge of +2 Coulombs would exert a stronger attractive force compared to the +1 Coulomb charge because the force is proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges.

Thus, the object with charge +2 C would be most strongly attracted by object A.
