Dear experts I have a statement as "A balloon rubbed with wool will repel another one that is not rubbed. True/False" I think that the answer should be False as a charged body attracts another uncharged body but in the solution it is written that""True. The uncharged balloon gets charged by induction and hence its near end acquires the same charge by charging by induction when brought close near to the charged balloon, and hence repels." Kindly justify which answer is correct.
Answer:
The answer should be False. The charged balloon should attract the uncharged balloon because due to induction, only the opposite charge comes on the uncharged body, and never the same charge.
