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

How can a positive balloon stick to a neutral wall?
All matter contains positive protons and negative electrons. When you bring a positively charged balloon close to a neutral wall, the wall becomes polarized. The electrons in atoms move colser to the balloon, making the near side of the wall seem negatively charged and farther components seem positive charged. This has a net attractive force on the balloon.
Can you stick a charged balloon to a doorknob?
Yes, you can stick a charged balloon to a doorknob because the charged balloon and the doorknob have opposite charges. The electrostatic attraction between the charged balloon and the doorknob will cause them to stick together momentarily.
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?
The charge on the balloon would be -1.6 x 10^-12 coulombs.
What is an example of a static charge?
When you rub your head against a balloon and 1. Your hair sticks up and 2. The balloon can stick to the ceiling :)
What happens when you try to stick a charged balloon an a metal doorknob?
The excess charge on the balloon will induce an opposite charge in the doorknob, causing them to attract each other. When the balloon comes into contact with the doorknob, electrons will flow from the balloon to the doorknob, neutralizing the charge on the balloon.
Would a balloon stick to metal if rubbed against your head?
No, a balloon filled with static electricity will not stick to metal if rubbed against your head. The static charge on the balloon and your head would not be strong enough to hold the balloon to the metal.
Why does a balloon stick to a wall when its rubbed on hair?
static electricity
A rubbed balloon will stick to a wooden wall which demonstrated charge?
The rubbed balloon becomes negatively charged from the transfer of electrons. The wooden wall becomes positively charged because it loses some electrons to the balloon. Opposite charges attract, causing the balloon to stick to the wall.
Why does a balloon stick to the wall when it is rubbed with wool?
When a balloon is rubbed with wool, the balloon becomes negatively charged and the wall becomes positively charged. Opposite charges attract each other, causing the balloon to stick to the wall. This is due to the electrostatic force of attraction between the charges on the balloon and the wall.
Which surface will a balloon that is rubbed against your head most likely stick too?
A balloon rubbed against your head will most likely stick to a surface like a wall or ceiling, as the rubbing generates static electricity which can cause the balloon to attract to surfaces with opposite charges.
How a balloon rubbed on a jumper will stick to a wall?
When a balloon is rubbed on a jumper, it becomes negatively charged. The wall, which is typically neutrally charged, attracts the negatively charged balloon due to electrostatic forces, causing the balloon to stick. This phenomenon is a result of the transfer of electrons between the balloon and the jumper, creating an imbalance in charges that leads to the attraction.
Why does an inflated balloon stick to a wall after being rubbed on a carpet?
When a balloon is rubbed on a carpet, it becomes negatively charged due to the transfer of electrons from the carpet to the surface of the balloon. The wall, being neutral or slightly positively charged, is then attracted to the negatively charged balloon, causing it to stick to the wall due to electrostatic forces.
If you rubbed the balloon with fannel cloth will it stick to cloth?
Yes, rubbing a balloon with a flannel cloth can create static electricity on the surface of the balloon, causing it to stick to the cloth due to electrostatic attraction.
Why does inflated balloon can stick to the ceiling when rubbed on a jersey?
When a balloon is rubbed on a jersey, it gains an electric charge. This charge creates an attraction between the balloon and the ceiling, which is typically neutral in charge. The balloon sticks to the ceiling because of the electrical forces holding it there.
Why will a Balloon rubbed jumper stick to a wall?
When a balloon is rubbed against a jumper, it gains a negative charge due to the transfer of electrons. The wall, being neutral, has positive charges in its atoms. Opposite charges attract, so the negatively charged balloon is attracted to the positively charged wall, causing it to stick.
Would small pieces of tissue paper near a rubbed balloon why would they probably stick to the balloon?
Yes, small pieces of tissue paper would likely stick to a rubbed balloon because the balloon becomes charged with static electricity when rubbed, creating an attractive force between the balloon and the tissue paper. This attraction is due to the transfer of electrons from one surface to another, resulting in static cling between the two materials.
Why does a balloon rubbed with wool stick to a wall?
When you rub a balloon with wool, electrons are transferred from the wool to the balloon, creating a static charge on the balloon. This static charge allows the balloon to stick to a wall because opposite charges attract and the charged balloon is attracted to the neutral wall.
