Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the net charge of the first object

The first object has a charge of +1 and two charges of -1. The net charge is +1 + (-1) + (-1) = -1.

Step 2: Calculate the net charge of the second object

The second object has a charge of +2 and two charges of -1. The net charge is +2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0.

Step 3: Determine the interaction

Since the first object has a net negative charge and the second object has a net neutral charge, they will attract each other. A charged object will induce polarization in a neutral object, causing an attraction.

Final Answer: The objects will attract each other.
