a balloon hanging from a string with small pieces of paper stuck to the bottom of it, with a few pieces on the ground

Answer 1

In this picture, we see a balloon that has been rubbed against a material to acquire a negative charge. The negatively charged balloon then attracts the small pieces of paper, which are neutral and initially at rest, without any physical contact. This is an example of electrostatic attraction, which occurs between charged and uncharged objects and is caused by the electric field created by the charged object.
