What will happen to the electrons in a neutral object if a negatively charged balloon is brought near the object?

The electrons are repelled by the negatively charged balloon.


A balloon will stick to a wooden wall if the balloon is charged?

either negatively or positively charged.


How might you use a balloon with a negative charge to find out whether the charge on another balloon is positive or negative?

If you move a negatively-charged balloon close to another balloon, if it moves towards the first balloon, it is positively-charged. If it moves away, it is negatively charged.


Does a negatively charged balloon stick to a wooden wall?

no


A balloon becomes negatively charged when rubbed against someone's sleevehow does it becomes charged?

Friction from rubbing the balloon on a sleeve creates static electricy,therefore the balloon becomes negatively charged.


What will happen to the positively charged balloon ad a soft drink can?

The positively charged balloon and a soft drink can will pull negatively charged objects towards them


What happens when you hold a negatively charged balloon near a wall and how does it negatively charge the wall?

Because it does


Why a charged balloon does notattract a person's hair if the balloon is far from person's head?

The electric Field repels it but the positively charged balloon is attracted to the negatively charged hair. (opposites attract)


If you rub a balloon with wool does it become negatively or positively charged?

It becomes negatively charged because Wool readily gives away its electrons.


What happens when a balloon with a negative charge is brought to the surface of a wall?

i dont know ask your friends at school. if your old, live with it. A Negative Charge or a collection of negative charges will repel other negative charges. A negatively charged balloon will therefore repel those few negative charges in a wall that are capable of moving a little bit. That area of the wall close to the negatively charged balloon will therefore become positively charged. A positively charged wall will attract a negatively charged balloon and the two will stick together.


Would a negatively charged balloon stick to a metal rod?

No. It is not possible. Because as soon as balloon touches the metal charges would be conducted.


Why does rubbing your hair with a balloon cause static electricity?

This has to do with the charge of the objects. Positively charged items stick to negatively charged items (think "opposites attract"). Though objects like hair and balloons are generally neutral (without a charge) and do not attract anything, this can be changed through the transfer of electrons. Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that can be transferred between items through contact. When you rub a balloon on your hair, the contact between your hair and the balloon allows electrons to be transferred, known as the triboelectric effect. Some materials are more likely to gain electrons and become more negative, while others are more likely to lose electrons and become more positive. In the case of hair and a balloon, the electrons are transferred from your hair to the balloon, so the balloon becomes negative. Now that electrons have been transferred, your hair and the balloon are of opposite charged and attract one another; therefore, your hair sticks to the balloon. Before the balloon contacts the hair, they both have a stable balance of electrons and protons. Once the balloon is rubbed on the hair, it takes electrons from the hair. Thus leaving the hair positively charged and the balloon negatively charged. Once the balloon is pulled away the hair sticks to it. This happens because opposite charges attract and since the hair was positively charged, and the balloon is negatively charged, they attract.
