(GIVING BRAINLIEST AND EXTRA POINTS!!) Edwin wrote the following notes about static electricity. When an uncharged object is placed close to a charged object, the objects can attract or repel each other. When two electrically charged objects are placed next to one another, the objects can also attract or repel. What statement will correct the error in Edwin's notes?

A) An electrically charged object needs to touch an uncharged object before they attract or repel.

B) When an electrically charged object comes close to an uncharged object, it will attract it.

C) If an electrically charged object is near an uncharged object, it will repel it.

D) When two electrically charged objects are placed close together, they only attract.

B) When an electrically charged object comes close to an uncharged object, it will attract it.

Explanation:

Suppose that you rubbed a balloon with a sample of animal fur such as a wool sweater or even your own hair. The balloon would likely become charged and its charge would exert a strange influence upon other objects in its vicinity. If some small bits of paper were placed upon a table and the balloon were brought near and held above the paper bits, then the presence of the charged balloon might create a sufficient attraction for the paper bits to raise them off the table. This influence - known as an electric force - occurs even when the charged balloon is held some distance away from the paper bits. The electric force is a non-contact force. Any charged object can exert this force upon other objects - both charged and uncharged objects.

Any charged object - whether positively charged or negatively charged - will have an attractive interaction with a neutral object. Positively charged objects and neutral objects attract each other; and negatively charged objects and neutral objects attract each other.

a "theory" a suggestion that is not 100 % accurate, or a figure. some people say its a theory because they of all the passed theory's about one subject. it depends sometimes theory might be accurate and sometimes they are.
