You place a charged balloon next to a wall and let go. Which describes what will most likely occur?
The negatively charged balloon will attract the positive charges in the wall, causing the balloon to stick to the wall.
The negatively charged balloon will repel the positive charges in the wall, allowing the balloon to float away.
The positively charged balloon will attract the positive charges in the wall, causing the balloon to stick to the wall.
The positively charged balloon will repel the positive charges in the wall, allowing the balloon to float away.
