Question 24 • LHS Physical Science

Two objects are held close together. When they are released, they move toward one another. Which conclusion is supported by this evidence?

Answer
A
The objects are both positively charged.
B
The objects are both negatively charged.
C
The objects have no charge.
D
The objects have opposite charges.

Explanation

Objects with opposite electric charges attract, so moving toward one another is consistent with the objects having opposite charges. Objects with the same charge repel, so choices A and B do not explain the attraction. The supported choice is “The objects have opposite charges.”
