Electricity, Magnetism and Gravity

Two Balloons are rubbed with wool cloth. When the balloons are held near one another, they push away from each other. Why Does this happen?

• The balloons have the same magnetic charge, so they repel each other

• The balloons have opposite magnetic charge, so they repel each other

• The balloons have the same electric charge, so they repel each other

• The balloons have opposite electric charge, so they repel each other
