-1 C
+1 C
-2 C
1 answer
Object A, which has a charge of -1 Coulomb, will be most strongly attracted to the object with a charge of +2 C. The attraction between two charged objects is strongest when the charges are opposite in sign. Since object A has a negative charge, it will be attracted to an object with a positive charge. The +2 C charge is the highest positive charge given, so it will result in the strongest attraction.
