Question 21 • 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 have no charge.
B
The objects have opposite charges.
C
The objects are both negatively charged.
D
The objects are both positively charged.

Explanation

Objects with opposite electric charges attract, so moving toward one another is consistent with one being positive and the other negative. Objects with charges of the same sign repel, so choices C and D do not fit. The supported conclusion is that the objects have opposite charges.
