A teacher tells her students that the space around a charged particle will exert a force on any other charged particle that is placed within this space. She places an object between the two charged metal plates, one plate that is positively charged and one plate that is negatively charged. Which argument best supports what will happen?

An object with a negative charge will remain stationary between the plates.

A neutrally charged object will move towards the negative plate.

An object with a positive charge will move toward the negative plate.

A neutrally charged object will move toward the positive plate.

The correct argument is "A neutrally charged object will move towards the positive plate." This is because the positive plate will attract the electrons in the neutrally charged object, causing it to move towards the positive plate.
