A balloon and a section of a wall both have neutral charges, as shown below. A student rubs his hair on the balloon, giving it a negative charge. How will the charges be arranged in the wall when it is placed near the negatively changed balloon? (1 point) Responses
When the negatively charged balloon is placed near the section of the wall, the charges in the wall will rearrange. The electrons in the wall will be attracted to the positively charged protons in the balloon, causing the electrons in the wall to redistribute. This redistribution will result in a separation of charges in the wall, with positive charges being closer to the balloon and negative charges being farther away. Overall, the side of the wall closest to the balloon will become positively charged, while the side farther away from the balloon will become negatively charged.
