    When neutral objects are placed in the vicinity of charged objects, they get attracted.

    The isolated neutral object has positive charge and negative charge spread throughout it completely.

    When a charged particle is brought, the opposite charges in the neutral object occupy the positions near to the charged particle and the like charges occupy the positions far from the charged particle.

    This creates a dipole with some dipole moment.

    This dipole attracts to the field of the charged particle.
