Explanation: The plastic ruler picks up free electrons when rubbed on hair, so it becomes negatively charged. The paper bits, neutrally charged, are more positive than the ruler, and opposite charges attract.

Both the ruler and the paper are insulators, so very little current flows from the ruler to the paper to re-balance the charges, therefore the paper bits continue to be attracted to the ruler.
