Why doesn't a compass seem to be affected by a negatively-charged balloon?
The compass would only be affected by a magnetic field. The charge on the balloon would not create the field unless there was a current flow. The charge on the balloon is called "static" because it doesn't flow.
Would small pieces of tissue paper near a rubbed balloon why would they probably stick to the balloon?
yes
What would rubbing against each other will produce static electricity?
a ballon and another balloon
What would be an a static electricity experiment?
Balloons are fun with static electricity. Rub a blown up balloon on the carpet and see if it will stick to a wall. Then rub a blown up balloon on the carpet and see what happens when you put it on or near your hair. Of course, there's always the old favorite of scooting across the carpet in your socks and touching the nose of your dog or cat with the tip of your finger. Have fun.
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 is paper attracted to negatively charged balloon?
opposite electric charge
Why does a balloon stick to the wall when you rub it on your head?
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 producedP.S. : HAIR SHOULD BE DRY

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.

yes
Static in static electricity describes what property of the charge?
The "static" in static electricity describes that the charge is unmoving, or staying in one place. A movement of electrons is not occuring, however there is an electrical charge. The opposite would be current electricity that flows, and that you would find in electric cords, etc...

Why does a balloon stick to a wood wall but not a metal one?
It probably would... If the metal wall area were small enough and not grounded. As the charged balloon touches the conductive metal wall, the wall quickly 'absorbs' and spreads the unbalanced charge throughout it's mass. (It only conducts away the charge from the part of the balloon touching the wall...) After dissipating the unbalanced charge from the balloon, there's no 'positive' / 'negative' charge separation to cause an attractive force so the balloon doesn't stick. In other words, the balloon looses part of its charge to the wall that has a much greater ability to store and spread electrical charges. Conductors, such as the metal wall, cannot be forced to maintain localized charge imbalances (like insulators can) as the imbalances are quickly conducted away. The electroscope experiment shows that conductors (small, ungrounded) CAN maintain net electrical charges (the foil leaves spread due to their holding like charges).
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.
What is the result of a broken static eliminator strip in a laser printer?
What will happen if your static-eliminator strip is broken, is it will stick to the photo-sensitive drum and be pulled back into the printer. If the paper comes out looking like an accordion then it will most likely be that the static-eliminator is not pulling the charge from the paper.
