The force of attraction between two objects depends on the product of their charges (q1 x q2) and the distance between them (d). The equation is F = k x (q1 x q2)/d^2, where k is Coulomb's constant.
In this case, object B has the highest charge (+2), and object C has the lowest charge (-1). Therefore, the strongest attractive force will be between object B and object C, which have charges of opposite signs.
So the correct answer is a. object B and object C.
Non-Contact Forces
A = +1
B = +2
C = -1
D = -2
Assuming other factors are held constant, which two objects will have the strongest attractive force between them:
a. object B and object C
b. object B and object D
c. object A and object B
d. object A and object C
