Two balloons, X and Y are placed near each other and subsequently repel each other. If balloon X is positively charged, then Y MUST NOT be ___.



Answer :

Answer:

If balloon X is positively charged, then balloon Y must not be positively charged. When two objects have the same charge, such as two positively charged objects, they will repel each other due to the electrostatic force of like charges. Therefore, for the balloons to repel each other, balloon Y must have a charge opposite to that of balloon X, which is either negatively charged or neutral.
