Question

What causes tiny pieces of paper to stick together when a comb rubbed with flannel is brought near them?

Answer 1

The static charge builds up on the comb. When the comb is rubbed on the flannel it picks up some of the flannels positive charge. The paper has negative charges on the outer layer thus opposites attract and voila have static cling.
