Question

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

+2 C
+2 C

+1 C
+1 C

-2 C
-2 C

-1 C

Answer 1

+2 C

Reason: Coulomb's law gives |F| = k |q1 q2| / r^2. Attraction occurs only for opposite signs, and the magnitude is largest when |q2| is largest, so +2 C produces the strongest attraction to -1 C.
