When the metallic body of a car is moved into a painting chamber, a mist of electrically neutral paint is sprayed around the car. when the car is given a sudden electric charge, the mist is attracted to it, and the car is quickly and uniformly painted. what does the phenomenon of polarization have to do with this?

The appropriate response is the paint particles in the fog (mist) are polarized and thusly are attracted to the charged metallic body of the auto. The clarification behind this is the paint particles are at first neutral. So when the auto is charged, it makes the paint particles captivate. The polarized paint particles are then attracted to the auto.
