In electrostatic interactions, charged objects behave according to the principle that opposite charges attract and like charges repel. Here's how it works:

1. **Two Positive Charges (+ and +)**: They will repel each other.
2. **Two Negative Charges (- and -)**: They will also repel each other.
3. **One Positive Charge (+) and One Negative Charge (-)**: They will attract each other.

In terms of your question about charged objects and their behavior:

- Different charges (+ and -) will **attract**.

Now, regarding magnetic forces, the behavior of magnets follows a similar pattern:

1. **Two North Poles (N and N)**: They will repel each other.
2. **Two South Poles (S and S)**: They will also repel each other.
3. **One North Pole (N) and One South Pole (S)**: They will attract each other.

In summary:

- Charged objects with **different charges** (one positive, one negative) will **attract** each other.
- Magnetic poles with **different types** (north and south) will also **attract** each other.
