Explain why a charged balloon is repelled by another charged balloon whereas an uncharged balloon is attracted by another charged balloon?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know the like charges repel each other. A charged balloon is repelled by another charged balloon because both the balloons contain same type of charges. When a charged balloon is brought near an uncharged balloon, uncharged balloon acquires opposite charge by induction. Since unlike charges attract each other. Therefore charged balloon attracts uncharged balloon.
