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

When you rub the balloon you create a static charge that is positive and the attraction that makes it stick to the wall is because the wall has a negative charge and like poles attract.

When you rub a balloon against something it takes the electrons from that object (in this case your hair) and it becomes a negatively charged object. When you put the balloon near a wall the electrons in the wall are repelled away from the balloon (ad further into the wall), and the protons are attract to the balloon so they come to the edge or surface of the wall, and because opposite attract the electrons in the balloon cling or hold to the protons on the front of the wall

when you are brushing your hair your hair gets stick when you rub your hair with the balloons it makes it stick!

When we rub the balloon with our hair, negative charge from the hair will move in the balloon leaving positive charge on the hair. When this balloon will set free it will attach to the near by wall because the charge on the balloon forces the negative charge on the wall to move on the other side of their atom and than the balloon will ultimately attach to the wall.

I've never seen this, but when you rub the balloon against your hair it creates a static electrical charge on the balloon which then causes the balloon to be attracted to the wall (or the wall to the balloon, however you like to think of it).

A balloon sticks to your hair because of the static charges of opposite polarity accumulated on the hair and the balloon.

The static electricity builds up between your head and the balloon. The positive in the balloon/head are attracted to the negative charge in balloon/head.

The positive and negative, protons and electrons react from the electrons and protons in our hair. And then react and stick (opposites attract :) )

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

The balloon is electrified by transferring elect rons from/to your hair. This electrified balloon then attracts electrons on the wall and this attraction force causes the balloon to stick to the wall until the charges decay form leakage to the wall or air.

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.


Why does a balloon stick to the celing when rubbed?

1. Rubbing the balloon to your hair causes the balloon to "steal" electrons from your hair. 2.The balloon has a buildup of electron so it has a negative charge. your hair has lost electrons so it becomes positively charged. 3.Because opposites attract the negatively charged balloon will stick or if there are enough electrons on the balloon they will try and "Jump" the wall and will make a small zap by:Zimran Reubin


Why does a balloon that has has static electric charge stick to the wall?

A balloon that has a static electric charge can stick to a wall because opposite charges attract each other. The balloon carries a negative charge, while the wall carries a positive charge (due to electrons being transferred from the wall to the balloon). This attraction between the opposite charges causes the balloon to stick to the wall.

Why a balloon that has a static electric charge will stick to a wall?

This is because on the exact same place you rubbed the balloon on it will have electrons wich made it stick on the wall.


A rubbed balloon will stick to a wooden wall which demonstrated charge?

A rubbed balloon will stick to a wooden wall demonstrating the charge of static electricity. The friction of the rubbing of the balloon causes the charge to build.
