A student roses hair on the balloon, giving it a negative charge. How will the charges be arranged in the while when it is placed near the negatively change balloon a. Have all positive charges and no negative charges.B. The why have negative charges on the side closer to the balloon.C, the charges will not change or rearrange at all d. The charges on the side of the balloon.
The correct answer is B. The balloon has a negative charge, so when it is placed near the neutral wall, the electrons in the wall will be attracted to the balloon and move towards it. This will result in an accumulation of negative charges on the side of the wall closer to the balloon. The positive charges in the wall will be repelled by the negative balloon, causing them to move away from the balloon and hence resulting in a concentration of positive charges on the side of the wall farther away from the balloon. Thus, the charges will be rearranged with negative charges on the side closer to the balloon and positive charges on the side farther away from the balloon.
