The Effect of Induced Dipoles on Electrons and Protons

The electrons can't really get out of the piece of paper and move into the air but they can do however is move from one side to another. When that happens we set up something that is called an induced dipole. A dipole is just when we have two sides of an object that are differentially charged. So in this case the piece ofPaper will have a negatively charged side at a positive charge side. The article as a whole is still neutral because it's still got the same number of electrons and protons.
