Question

Put the balloon near (BUT NOT TOUCHING) the wall. Leave about as much space as the width of your pinky finger between the balloon and wall. Does the balloon move, if so which way

Answer 1

Move towards the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the balloon is kept near to the wall not touching the wall, there is a force of electrostatic attraction so that the balloon moves towards the wall and stick to it.

As there is some charge on the balloon and the wall is uncharged so the force is there due to which the balloon moves towards the wall.
