Tape won't stick where I want it

[Pixter]

q: if you take some sticky tape and rip it of and try to put it on a particular place on a piece of paper, why is this always troubesome?
a: Well the only real answear I could think of is that the paper and tape has both positivt/negative charges or one has a negative and the other has a positive and this makes it hard to stick the tape on the right place on the paper because either it'll stick prematurly due to attraction or it will jump a bit because they have different charges.

is there something else that I might have missed?

 

[Chi Meson]

Yes. Go to your book are read about "induced charge" or "induced polarization." The bits of paper are neutral.

It is possible that the surface of the paper may also play a role in the tape not sticking where you want it. If the paper is too smooth or has a coating, it may not provide enough friction for the tape to adhere properly. Additionally, the adhesive on the tape may not be strong enough for the specific surface of the paper, causing it to easily come off or not stick at all. Other factors such as humidity, temperature, and cleanliness of the surface can also affect the tape's ability to stick. It is important to consider all of these factors when trying to adhere tape to a specific location on paper.
