Electrical forces can also act at a distance. When charged objects are brought near a neutral object, it causes the charged object's electrons to rearrange their positions on the neutral object. if you rub a balloon with a glove then bring the negatively charged baloon near your sleeve, the electrons near the sleeve move away from the balloon leaving a positively charged area. Then, the negatively charged balloon attracts the postively charged area of the sleeve. The ballon will then cling to the shirt. This is called charging by induction.
