–1 C

Answer 1

Object A has a charge of -1 Coulomb. According to Coulomb's law, opposite charges attract each other while like charges repel each other. Therefore, positive charges will be attracted to the negative charge of Object A.

Among the given options, the positive charges (+2 C and +1 C) would be attracted to Object A. However, the charge with the largest magnitude that is still positive would be +2 C.

Therefore, the object with the charge that would be most strongly attracted by object A is:

+2 C
