If a neutral object such as paper comes close to a positively charged plastic rod, what type of charge accumulates on the side of the paper closest to the positive rod?

Respuesta :

The answer would be negative charge because +, and - dont like each other so they retract from each other.

Explanation:

When a neutral object such as paper comes close to a positively charged plastic rod then an opposite charge, that is, negative charge will develop on the paper.

As a result, the side of paper with negative charge will get attracted towards the positive charge of plastic rod. As it is known that opposite charges attract each other and like charges repel each other.
