A charged body __________ an uncharged body towards it.
Answers
Answer:
A charged body contains an excess amount of positive or negative charge. Let us consider a positively charged body, A. It produces an electric field in the region around it. When an uncharged body, B, is brought near it, the negative charges in B move towards A while the positive charges in B move away from A.
Explanation:
Answer:
A charged body will attract an uncharged body towards it.
Explanation:
An uncharged body holds equivalent amounts of positive and negative charges.
A charged body has an extra amount of positive or negative charge.
Let us consider a positively charged body, A. It creates an electric field in the area around it. When an uncharged body, B, exists got near it, the negative charges in B move towards A while the positive charges in B move away from A.
Since the strength of the electric field exists inversely proportional to the square of the distance, the attractive force will be more powerful than the repulsive force.
Similarly, the attractive force due to a negatively charged body will be more powerful than the repulsive force.
A charged body will attract an uncharged body towards it.
