Must an object be electrically charged as well for it to be attracted by a charged object?

Provide your second object is an insulator, - able to carry an electrical charge - it will have an electrical charge induced on it by the presence of a nearby electrically charged object. So, the second object does not need to have its own independent electrical charge, it is sufficient that it can carry one.

A repelling force must occur between two charged objects under which conditions?
repelling forces occur with charged objects when the polarities of the objects are charged the same, which means that a positively charged object would repel another positively charged object and a negatively charged object would repel a negatively charged object.
How does a object become negatively charged?
if some of the positive charges have been either chemically removed or bonded together, that is how they become negatively charged...................... xoxo
Is an ion neutral and does it therefore have no charge?
Yes they are. Negatively or positively charged particles called ions are formed when atoms form chemical bonds by gaining and losing electrons.
What must an object be for you to see it?
The object must be opaque, solid or liquid.
In order for heat to be transferred by conduction which of the following must occur A cold object must be heated with hot air. A hot object must be directly touching a cold object. The Sun must heat t?
A hot object must be directly touching a cold object.
Do the charge in ion compound must be equal?
An ion is always electrically charged.
When two objects attract each other electrically must both of them be charged?
No. The attraction is stronger when both are charged. But a charged object may induce an electric dipole (i.e., a separation of charges) in a nearby neutral conductor, resulting in an attraction.
A block of metal is attracted to a magnet What must the block contain?
if a block of metal is attracted to a magnet it must have flowing charged particles (electrons)
Why does a wire that carries an electric current not become electrically charged?
To become electrically charged, a conductor must either have an excess of electrons (negatively charged) or a deficiency of electrons (positively charged). For every free electron moving around in a current-carrying conductor, there is a corresponding proton within the fixed atoms, so the conductor is neither negatively- nor positively-charged, but neutral.
A repelling force must occur between two charged objects under which conditions?
repelling forces occur with charged objects when the polarities of the objects are charged the same, which means that a positively charged object would repel another positively charged object and a negatively charged object would repel a negatively charged object.
How objects become negatively charges?
To become negatively charged, an object must gain electrons from another object
How does a object become negatively charged?

What material must be found in an object in order for a magnet be attracted to it?
iron,steel,metal,colbalt,and of course magnisium
Does a chloride ion have equal protons and electrons?
No. By definition an ion is electrically charged and so must have a different number of protons and electrons. A chloride ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
Why did Rutherford use alpha particles rather than electrons for his scattering experenment?
Because the alpha particles are positively charged. In order for the experiment to work, the positive alpha particles must be attracted to the negatively charged gold foil.
When must army aircraft be electrically grounded?
When fuelling.
Why don't neutrons attract electrons?
Neutrons don't interact via the electromagnetic force while electrons do. Remember than neutrons are electrically neutral while electrons have an electric charge (that is negative.) In order for two electrically charged particles to attract, they will need to have a net charge of zero; that is, they must be opposite charges.
