When a balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth why does it become negatively charged?
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.
Why does a balloon stick to the wall when it is rubbed with wool?
because of the friction
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 will happen when two balloons are brought together right after they are rubbed on a piece of wool?
When you rub one balloon with wool, and then rub another balloon with wool, we can safely assume that both balloons acquire the same kind of charge. So when you try to bring them together, they'll repel each other (push apart).
What is the charge of wool rubbed with a comb?
The wool would have a positive charge, while the comb is negative. This is because the comb will take excess electrons from the wool.

An inflated rubber balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth until an excess of a billion electrons is on the balloon. what is the magnitude of the charge on the balloons?
1.602x10(-10)
Why do two balloons repel each other after rubbed with wool?
It's due to static electricity build up. The balloons have become charged with electricity and it is the same charge on both balloons (either positive or negative). Opposite charges attract, identical charges repel each other.

How can you explain the presence of a charge on the rubber rod after it has been rubbed with wool?
real good
What happens when iron rod rubbed with wool cloth?
The iron rod becomes shinier and the wool cloth wears out. If you rub the same wool cloth on a hard rubber rod, the rod will become charged with static electricity and you will be able to pick up small bits of paper with it---whoopee!
Why a balloon now negatively charged?
When you rub a balloon onto your hair or piece of clothing, the balloon collects the electrons (negative charge) from the hair or clothing you rubbed it on. The balloon now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge) making it have a negative charge. The hair or clothing has more protons than electrons making it have a positive charge.
When a silk blouse and wool socks are put into the dryer what charge will appear on the blouse when rubbed with the socks?
you will get a static electric charge :)
