What would happen if a negatively charged balloon touched metal?
Opposite charges attract each other. It makes no difference what kind of objects happen to be carrying the charges.
Why the charged balloon wiill be attracted to the charged glass rod?
If charge on the balloon is induced due to the charge of the glass rod then there will be opposite charge and so balloon gets attracted by the rod. Unlike charges do attract each other
In terms of electrical explain why the balloons repelled each other?
It's due to static electricity build up. The balloons have become charged with electricity and it is the same charge on both balloons (either positive or negative). Opposite charges attract, identical charges repel each other.
Is negative the charge that attracts electrons?
Electrons are negative. so no positive charges attracts electrons because the opposite charges attract each other like ( + - ) but same charges repel like ( ++ ) or ( - - )
How do forces between between electrical charges differ from forces between masses?
Gravitational forces are always attractive. Electrical charges are repulsive for same-type charges, and attractive for opposite-types.
Why does a balloon that has has static electric charge stick to the wall?
A balloon that has a static electric charge can stick to a wall because opposite charges attract each other. The balloon carries a negative charge, while the wall carries a positive charge (due to electrons being transferred from the wall to the balloon). This attraction between the opposite charges causes the balloon to stick to the wall.

What is meant by opposite charges attract?
Its meant that positive charges and negative charges attract each other and same sign charges repel each other.
Why do two balloons repel each other after rubbed with wool?
It's due to static electricity build up. The balloons have become charged with electricity and it is the same charge on both balloons (either positive or negative). Opposite charges attract, identical charges repel each other.
When two objects have the same charges they attract each other?
They do not. Rather, objects with opposite charges attract each other.
How do a proton and a electon compare?
They have opposite charges.
Why two opposite charges attract each other and same charges repel each other?
The is a law of nature, like charges repel, unlike attract.
What are gelatin mountains?
static electricity, which is what makes your socks stick to your clothes in the dryer, can be a powereful force. When you rub a piece of wool on a latex balloon, the balloon becomes charged with static electricity. If you hold the balloon near a pile of unflaverd gelitin, the gelitin becomes charged as well, but with the opposite charge. Things that have opposite charges attract, so the geletin starts to creep twords the balloon, trying to make contact
Opposite charges repel one another?
Charges repel each other when they have the same charge to them. For example, two electrons repel. Two protons repel. Two negatively charged particles will repel each other. As will two positively charged particles will.

What charges attract in electricity?
opposite charges
