What happens when a charged non-conductor is placed near an uncharged conductor body? Explain They repel each other. They attract each other. They may attract or repel each other, depending on whether the charge on the insulator is positive or negative. They exert no electrostatic force on each other. The charged insulator always spontaneously discharges

A spherical balloon is initially uncharged. If you spread positive charge uniformly over the balloon's surface would it expand or contract? What would happen if you spread negative charge instead? According to my TA the correct answer is when it's positive charge it expands and when it's negative charge it contracts. What is the reasoning behind this? Please explain.
