Question

An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it had been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. What force might be responsible for the attraction between the balloon and the wall?
A Gravitational
B Magnetic
C Electrostatic
D adhesive

Answer 1

Hint: A balloon rubbed with a piece of cloth, as per the condition provided in the question. Due to the movement of electrons between the fabric and the ball, the balloon gets a certain charge during rubbing. The Electrostatic force is one of the basic forces of nature.

Complete answer:
1.Electrostatic force is a type of force that acts between two particles that are electrically charged. Electrostatic force is defined as the phenomenon involving the force acting between the charged particles at rest.
2.Like the force of gravity, electromagnetism has an infinite spectrum, but it is vastly stronger than gravity.
3. Electrostatic force is therefore characterized as the macroscopic phenomenon we encounter on a daily basis, such as friction, lightning, rainbows, electric current, etc.
4.Any of the electrons from the synthetic cloth are passed to the balloon when rubbing the balloon with the aid of a small piece of synthetic cloth.
5.Owing to this, both the opposite and equivalent charges of the fabric and balloon. By electrostatic attraction from the balloon, the opposite charges that are formed on the wall are generated.
6.Since there are opposite charges on both the wall and the balloon, When the balloon is pressed against the wall, they appeal to each other.
7.Therefore, electrostatic force / Electrostatic strength is the force responsible for the attraction between the balloon and the wall.
8.Friction as it rubbing against the synthetic cloth with the negative electrical charges turning the wall has + charge and the balloon is after rubbing-charge thus attracting the positively charged (wall) and the negatively charged (balloon after rubbing against the synthetic cloth) to each other in this case.
\[\therefore \] Electrostatic force might be responsible for the attraction between the balloon and the wall

The correct option is (C).

Note:
Electrostatic induction can be defined as the electrical charge gain or loss on one of the materials that occurs under the electrical charge impact of the nearby material. There are two fundamental types of natural forces. They are basic and non-fundamental forces of force. Normal force, frictional force, tension force, elastic force, etc. are the non-fundamental strengths.
