Explain why a neutral object can be attracted to a charged objec. Why can this neutal object not be repelled by a charged object ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why a neutral object can be attracted to a charged object and why it cannot be repelled, we can break down the explanation into several key steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Charge Distribution**: - A neutral object has an equal amount of positive and negative charges, meaning that the total charge is zero. **Hint**: Remember that neutrality means balance; equal positive and negative charges cancel each other out. ...
