We all know that opposites attract . . . so explain why a positive charge (or a negative charge for that matter) attracts a non-charged object.
Homework Answers
Yes, a charged body (positive or negative) attract a non charged objects.
This thing can be explained by the phenomenon of Electromagnetic induction. When a charged body is brought close enough to a non charged body its excess electron/ proton can cause changes in the electronics distribution pattern (uncharged body) and causes to develop opposite polarity (positive/ negative) and hence generate electrostatic attractive force and hence causes attraction.
Example of this is when a charged comb is brought near uncharged paper pieces it attract them and stick to it. This will happen even if it is uncharged metal pieces.
Electric charge polarization is the ultimate reason. Another example is attraction between charged sphere and a dielectric sphere.

At one time it was thought that electric charge was a weightless fluid. An excess of this fluid resulted in a positive charge; a deficiency resulted in a negative charge. Describe at least one experiment for which this hypothesis provides a satisfactory explanation. Check all that apply. Check all that apply.

You’d like to know the sign (positive or negative) of your piece of charged tape. How might you determine the sign of charge on your tape? Keep in mind that neutral uncharged matter is attracted to both positive and negative charge. How do you think one would make two OPPOSITELY charged pieces of tape? Describe a process that would allow you to make two pieces of oppositely charged tapes and how you know that they would be oppositely charged.

We know that the magnitudes of the negative charge on the electron and the positive charge on the proton are equal. Suppose, however, that these magnitudes differ from each other by 0.00043%. With what force would two copper coins, placed 1.0 m apart, repel each other? Assume that each coin contains 4.3 × 1022 copper atoms. (Hint: A neutral copper atom contains 29 protons and 29 electrons.)
