- 19. Multiple Choice
Suppose you rub an inflated balloon on a carpet, hold the balloon next to a wall, and discover that it "sticks" to the wall. Why did the balloon stick to the wall?
Like charges on the balloon and wall cause an attraction between the two.
Balloons contain an atomic property that allows them to cling to other objects.
Excess charge builds up on the balloon and electrostatic forces allow the balloon and wall to be attracted to one another because they are oppositely charged.
All 3 of these choices are correct in what is happening.
