It depends on whether its a positive or negative charge. Remember: Opposites attract, so a positively charged object will attract a negatively charged object (and vice versa) while two positvely charged objects (or two negatively charged objects) will repell.

The electron theory of static electricity tells us that all neutral objects have equal quantities of positive and negative charge, and negatively charged electrons are free to move and tranfer from one object to another. This predicts that an object in contact with a negatively charge object or positive will obtain that charge by either gaining or losing electrons. A body becomes positively charged by being in contact with another positively charged object which causes it to lose electrons, so that it now has more protons than electrons. A body becomes negatively charged by being in contact with a negatively charged object with causes it to gain electrons, therefore having more electrons than protons making it negatively charged. Negatively charged objects attract positive and neutrally charged objects, because opposite charges attract. Since positively charged objects have more protons, the protons attract the electrons of the negatively charged objects. With a neutral object where the number of protons and electrons are the same, the protons from the neutral object attract to the electrons of the negatively charged object, and these protons move to the end of the object that is near the negatively charged object. Positively charged objects attracted negative and neutrally charged objects, because opposite charges attract. Since negative objects have more electrons, the electrons attract the protons of the positively charged objects. With a neutral object where the number of protons and electrons are the same, the electrons from the neutral object attract to the protons of the positively charged object, and these electrons move to the end of the object that is near the positivelt charged object. The neutral rod does not attract other objects, but other objects that are negative and positive can attract it.

depends...

both bodies may have similar charges ( like charges repel each other)

it also depends on the polarity of the charged bodies.

thus, the bodies apply non contact repulsive forces on each other thus not allowing each other to get in contact or simply attract each other.

some charged things repel because they electrified by the same charge,i.e. like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other.

Opposites attract by a negative and a positive. Just like magnet's, one is positively charged, while the other is negatively charged.

2.Positively charged objects can only attract objects that are negatively charged?

Any charged object weather positively charged or negatively charged will have an attractive interaction with a neutral object. Neutral objects do not attract or repel each other.


How do charged objects affect neutral objects?

Objects with the same charge repel each other.


What two charged objects are made to touch each other and then separate?

In contrast to the attractive force between two objects with opposite charges, two objects that are of like charge will repel each other. That is, a positively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second positively charged object. This repulsive force will push the two objects apart.
