    1. uncharged object such as paper? A charged object will attract an uncharged object until they touch‚ and then they will repel one another. When charged objects attract uncharged objects‚ such as when the negatively charged plastic comb or fur attracted the paper‚ the negatively charged comb/fur repelled some of the electrons in the paper. This results in a redistribution of charges in the paper so that one side is more negative than the other side. The net effect is that the paper is attracted
