You stick two pieces of tape together sticky side to non-sticky side, and label them A and B. You then pull them apart quickly. This is done to two similar pieces of tape labeled C and D. Afterwards, you find that tape A repels tape C, and tape A attracts tape D. Create a model to explain these observation
When A and B are pulled apart, charge transfers between them. We
can not say which one is negative or positive but they are
oppositely charged since we can not create or destroy charges out
of nothing.
Similarly C and D are also oppositely charged.
A repels C shows that they have similar charges (can be both
positive or both negative). This leads to the fact that B and D too
have similar charges, but opposite polarity to that of A and C. So
A attracts D since they are oppositely charged.
