Question

What happens when a negatively charged object is brought near a neutral object?

Answer 1

Answer:

When a negatively charged object is brought near the knob of a neutral electroscope, the negative charge repels the electrons in the knob, and those electrons move down the stem into the leaves. ... Since both leaves are negatively charged, they repel each other.

Explanation:

When you bring a negatively charged object close to a neutral pith ball, ... These positive and negative charges attract the two closer and if they touch each other, positive charges get nullified and both bodies become negatively charged. Once both are negatively charged, they tend to repel each other.
