Question

A negatively charged balloon moves close to another balloon. They then repel each other. What can be said about the other balloon?

Answer 1

Answer: B: It has a negative charge.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to theory espoused by the French physicist, Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, like charges charges will repel each other and unlike charges will attract one another.

This means that objects with negative charges will repel each other. As the first balloon in the question was negatively charged, it would only repel the other balloon if it was negatively charged as well.
