Science question!
which of these is the best explanation for why two negatively charged balloons move apart without ever touching? a. charger objects send little lighting bolts of electrons across the space between the two balloons. b. electrons from one balloon jump to the other and push it, without ever touching it. c. electronic charges have electric fields surrounding them that allow them to exert forces on other objects without touching them. d. the space between objects is actually filled with charged particles that all intersect.

C. Electronic charges have electric fields surrounding them that allow them to exert forces on other objects without touching them.

Explanation:

All the electric charges have electric field in the region surrounding them

This electric field is given as

above formula is the electric field due to a point charge in the surrounding region of it.

Now due to this electric field when other charges comes into this region they will experience electric force on them which is given as

due to above reason two charges either attract or repel each other

so correct answer will be

C. Electronic charges have electric fields surrounding them that allow them to exert forces on other objects without touching them.
