Apositively charged object will attract an object that has

The correct answer to the question is negative charges.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the positively charged object is attracting another object.

From the basic or fundamental aspects of Coulombic force, we know that like charges will repel and unlike charges will attract.

As per the question, the positively charged object is attracting another object. So, the charge of the second object must be negative in nature.

Hence, the second object has negative charges or excess electrons.

There is another way by which the positively charged object can attract the second object. This is called polarization.

Induction or polarization is the mode of charging a body without any direct contact between two bodies.

As per the question, the first object is positively charged. This object is considered as the inducing charge. The inducing charge will develop bound induced charges i.e negative charges on the surface of the second object. The free induced charges are far away from it. Due this bound charges, the positively charged object will attract another object.

Here, the second object has bound negative charges.

As per our question, we are asked to determine the charge of second object. Hence, we have to neglect polarization.

Hence, the correct answer to the question will be negative charges.

it doesn't. it was imagined up in the middle ages.
