When dealing with electric charges, objects interact based on their charges:
1. Objects with opposite charges attract each other.
2. Objects with like charges repel each other.
3. Objects with no charge are generally not affected by charged objects, unless they are close enough to get polarized.
Given a positively charged object, we need to determine which type of object it will attract:
- Option 1: An object that has a negative charge -- Opposites attract; thus, a positively charged object will attract a negatively charged object.
- Option 2: An object that has a smaller positive charge -- Both have positive charges; hence, they will repel each other.
- Option 3: An object that has no charge -- No charge generally means no interaction in the context of attraction or repulsion unless there is polarization, which is not part of the basic attraction mechanism in classical physics.
- Option 4: An object that has a larger positive charge -- Both have positive charges; hence, they will repel each other.
Based on the rules of electric charges:
A positively charged object will attract an object that has a negative charge.
