A teacher holds two negatively charged balloons apart as shown in the picture. What will happen if the teacher bring together these charged objects?

Answer 1

When the teacher brings the two negatively charged balloons together, they will repel each other. This is because like charges repel; since both balloons have the same negative charge, they will push away from each other. The force of repulsion will increase as the balloons get closer until the teacher may feel it difficult to bring them even closer together.
