Since paper is very light, this is enough to lift it up. In fact, the charge migrates inside the paper - when attracted to a net negative object, the electrons will try to get away from it, leaving a deficiency closer to the rod, which will make it weakly positive, leading to attraction. There's also more examples of similar principles, eg. you can attract individual water molecules with magnetic fields, since it doesn't have uniform charge. | |

| Mar 27, 2014 at 9:44 | comment | added | Murtuza Vadharia | when a scale is rubbed with hair and when brought near pieces of paper, then paper being nuetral is still attracted towards scale. Why? | |
