Answer:
No, the the paper does not move because of air as it moves due to the electrostatic force.
Electrostatic force - It's the attractive or repulsive force between two electrically charged objects. Like charges repel each other while unlike charges attract each other.
2. It is because both the things were not closer to each other as electrostatic force only happens when to charged objects are in contact with each other.
a. The paper was not attracted to the comb because they were not closer to each other. That's why.
b. Yes
c. No , any object can be attract to each other because of electrostatic force.
d. No, it was because that they were not in contact with each other.
