electrons are transferred from your hair to the balloon . so ballon gets a negative charge . so there is a transfer of energy when you rub your hair with balloon and static electricity is produced

P.S. : HAIR SHOULD BE DRY

The static electricity given off by the contact between both the hair and balloon will cause a peculiar attraction that most would see as hair standing up. The hair will develop mild attraction with the balloon only to a certain degree.

If you rub a balloon on your head it will indeed attract a piece of paper. This is due to the static electricity that is created.

When you rub a balloon on your hairwhat go's to the balloon?

The friction between two different materials in the right combination (this case your hair and a rubber balloon) causes free valence electrons (the electrons in the outer most orbit around an atom) to move from one item to the other, causing an excess of electrons (negative charge) in one and a deficit (positive) in the other. When put near the paper with an opposite charge, the paper will jump to the balloon. Opposites attract.


How do light a light bulb with a balloon?

If it is just you, the light bulb and the balloon....no. That is just static electricity and is very low voltage and ampheres. If that light bulb is plugged in to a lamp that is plugged into a socket, very possibly yes. That static electricity could be greatly magnified by stray voltage and cause you some serious grief.

It has electro static cells that form when re-peatedly rubbed wich creates friction ending with a attraction to the item of your choice.

A hypothesis about wye does a balloon stick to wall after you rub it against your hair?
