Solution

After rubbing the balloon against the sweater, the balloon:

  • was attracted to an object with positive charge
  • had lots of extra electrons

Explanation:

When you rub a balloon against a sweater, the balloon becomes negatively charged because it gains electrons from the sweater. This is due to the triboelectric effect, where certain materials will either gain or lose electrons when they come into contact with another material.

  1. The balloon was attracted to an object with positive charge: This is correct because opposite charges attract. The negatively charged balloon will be attracted to positively charged objects.

  2. Repelled an object with positive charge: This is incorrect. The balloon, which is negatively charged, would attract, not repel, a positively charged object.

  3. Had lots of extra electrons: This is correct. The balloon becomes negatively charged because it gains electrons from the sweater.

  4. Repelled electrons in the wall: This is incorrect. The balloon would attract positive charges, not repel negative charges (electrons).
