Question

A non-conducting wall is given a net negative charge. Next, a sheet of very flexible rubber with zero net charge is suspended from the ceiling near the charged wall as shown below.

The rubber sheet will:

bend away from the wall due to the polarization of the rubber molecules by the charged wall.
not be affected by the charged wall because the rubber sheet has zero net charge.
not be affected by the charges on the wall since rubber is an insulator.
bend toward the wall due to the polarization of the rubber molecules by the charged wall.
bend away from the wall due to the electrical repulsion between the electrons in the rubber and the charges on the wall.
none of the above
