they attract each other
Two objects with opposite charges are attracted to each other. Two objects that are of like charge will repel each other.
what is the general rule for how charged objects interact
No, when objects have the same charge they do not attract. Take two balloons, for example. When you rub them on your head, then hold them near each other, they move away from each other, which is called repelling. They repel because the charge of the two balloons are the same. They picked up the positive or negative charges from your hair.
The charge repels so if it's a conductor the charge moves as far away as possible (the side of the object). It will also attract other objects with an opposite charge, or repel ones with like charge.
An electroscope detects the static electrical charge on an object. If an object with a electrical charge is touched to the knob on top this charge is transferred to the rod and in turn to the metal leaves in the jar. Opposite charged objects attract and same charged objects repel. The charge on both leaves is the same polarity so they repel each other.
they attract each other
Opposite charges attract.
Two objects with opposite charges are attracted to each other. Two objects that are of like charge will repel each other.
what is the general rule for how charged objects interact
Two objects that are similarly charged will repel, while two objects with opposite charges will attract. Moreover, a neutral object will attract either charges
Particles with the same charge will interact by electrostatic repulsion.
No, when objects have the same charge they do not attract. Take two balloons, for example. When you rub them on your head, then hold them near each other, they move away from each other, which is called repelling. They repel because the charge of the two balloons are the same.

Tie the unknown object and an object with a known charge to separate strings. Hold the two objects up by the strings, and bring them near each other. If the objects repel it means that the unknown object has the same charge as the known object. If they attract it means the unknown object has an opposite charge as the known object.
They repel, same with two negatively charged objects
Not all objects became electrified, objects "electrified" by the same machine appeared to repel each other (like magnets of the same charge); and objects "electrified" in different ways (one by touching an electric machine, for example, and the other, say, by rubbing amber) would attract each other (like magnets of opposite charge).
