Which way will the foil ball deflect if you first touch it with a positively charged stick and then move the stick aside?

Which way will the foil ball deflect if you first touch it with a positively charged stick and then move the stick aside? Where would the ball go if there was a negative charge on the stick at the beginning of the experiment?

As you know, any body has the same number of protons and neutrons. Neutrons are positively charged and electrons negative. That is, the body is practically in a neutral charge. On assignment, we have a foil ball. Since we do not know its charge, we will assume that it is in a neutral charge, and if you touch it with a positively charged stick, the ball will be attracted to it. And if you touch it with a negatively charged stick, the ball will push off. This is due to the fact that part of the charge of the stick goes into the ball and increases its charge in the positive or negative direction.
