What happens when you bring the charged balloon near the neutral wall? What do the negative charges of the wall do?
Added by Andrea C.
Step 1
Step 1: When you bring a charged balloon (which has a negative charge due to excess electrons) near a neutral wall, the electric field created by the balloon's charge interacts with the charges in the wall. Show more…

When a negatively charged balloon is placed against a wall, positive charges in the wall are attracted to the balloon. repelled from the balloon. too bound to the negative charges in the wall to have any effect. neutralized.

Now grab the balloon and move it slowly toward the wall. What do you observe about the charge associated with the wall as you bring the balloon toward it? Now grab the balloon and move it all the way to the wall, i.e. touching the wall. What happens now when you release the balloon? Explain, again being sure to indicate the charge configuration for the balloon and the wall, i.e. do each have a net charge and if so, what is the polarity of the charge? Pull the balloon back to about the midpoint between the wall and the sweater. Release it again and describe the motion of the balloon using kinematics concepts of velocity and acceleration.
