Question

The image on the left shows the charges on a balloon after it’s been rubbed with a wool cloth. The image on the right is a piece of tissue paper. What will happen to the tissue paper as it approaches the balloon and why?

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

As the tissue paper approaches the balloon, it will be attracted to the balloon due to the presence of opposite charges. The balloon has a negative charge due to the transfer of electrons from the wool cloth, while the tissue paper is neutrally charged. The negative charges on the balloon will induce positive charges on the side of the tissue paper facing the balloon, causing the tissue paper to be attracted to the balloon. This phenomenon is known as electrostatic attraction.
