What will happen to the balloon when you put it against the wall after rubbing it with a wool cloth?
The balloon should have a small static electric charge which is enough to make it stick to the wall for a short time.
What is the hypothesis for static electricity?
My hypothesis for my experiment was that rubbing the balloon on the wool sweater will make the balloon stay on the desk the longest. I believe this because the sweater was furry. I also predicted that there would not be a different in the amount of time the balloon stayed on the desk at different times of day.
Will rubbing alcohol kill wool eating moths?
Yes, rubbing alcohol is toxic to most insects. In the right concentration, rubbing alcohol will kill a wool eating moth.
When a balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth it becomes negatively charged why?
When a balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth, the electrons from the atoms of the wool cloth enter the atoms of the balloon and thus, the number of electrons in the atoms of balloon becomes more than the number of protons. Hence, there is a net negative charge in the balloon, whereas in the wool cloth the number of electrons in its atoms become less than the number of protons, hence there is a net positive charge on the wool cloth.

What is the type of electricity produced by rubbing plastic on wool?
Static electricity.It is electricity at rest. It is produced by friction, by rubbing.
Why does a balloon stick to the wall when it is rubbed with wool?
because of the friction
What causes a balloon to stick to a wool sweater?
Charged particles
Is wool negative or positive?
If we are talking about the triboelectric effect - static charging - then wool is inclined to lose electrons, so it is positive.
How do you create static electricity with wool and styrofoam?
You can make some static electricity by rubbing wool or styrofoam against your head
Why does rubbing wool against plastic create static electricity?
Rubbing wool against plastic doesn't actually "create" static electricity. However, rubbing wool and plastic together does increase the surface area of the two materials that are coming into contact. When this happens electrons are exchanged between the two surfaces creating an imbalance. It is this imbalance of electrons that we see as static electricity.
What happens when you rub a balloon with wool and the other with silk?
the balloon will most likely pop even though i have never done it.
