When two objects are charged, they can either have the same type of charge (positive or negative) or opposite charges. The behavior of charged objects depends on the type of charge they possess.

In the case of two charged balloons, if both balloons have the same type of charge (either positive or negative), they will repel each other. This is because like charges repel each other due to the electrostatic force. The charges on the balloons push against each other, causing them to move away from each other.

On the other hand, if one balloon is charged (positive or negative) and the other balloon is uncharged, they will be attracted to each other. This is because charged objects attract uncharged objects. The charged balloon creates an electric field around it, and the uncharged balloon experiences a force due to this electric field, causing it to move towards the charged balloon.

In summary, charged balloons repel each other when they have the same charge, and an uncharged balloon is attracted to a charged balloon due to the electric field created by the charged balloon.
