Yes, a negatively charged balloon can pick up small pieces of paper due to the attraction between the negative charge on the balloon and the positive charge on the paper. This phenomenon is a result of static electricity.

Why does a balloon with static pick up paper?

The balloon becomes statically charged when rubbed against hair or clothing, attracting the neutral paper bits. This is due to the static charge on the balloon causing an electrostatic force between the balloon and the paper, causing the paper bits to stick to the balloon.


How many pieces of paper can a helium balloon pick up?

A helium balloon can typically lift a few grams of weight, which is equivalent to only a few sheets of paper. The exact number of pieces of paper it can pick up would depend on the weight and size of the paper.


When does the wire wrapped nail pick up paper clips?

When both positive and Negative charged wire ends touch it. (Try it, it's fun)


A plastic rod will pick up small pieces of paper when it has been rubbed with a cloth?

When the plastic rod is rubbed with a cloth, it becomes charged with static electricity. The rod becomes positively charged by stripping electrons from the cloth, making it attractive to the small pieces of paper which are negatively charged. This electrostatic force allows the plastic rod to pick up the small pieces of paper.


A negatively charged rubber rod can pick up small neutrally charged pieces of paper by a process called what?

The process by which a negatively charged rubber rod picks up small neutrally charged pieces of paper is called electrostatic induction. When the rod approaches the neutral paper, it causes the electrons in the paper to move away from the rod, creating a positive charge on the side nearest to the rod. This induced positive charge then attracts the negatively charged rod, allowing it to pick up the paper.

If two balloons are rubbed on a wool sweater they should stick to each other?

The balloon has a greater affinity for electrons so it obtains a negative charge after being rubbed against the sweater. The balloon, containing a highly negative charge, sticks to the wall because it is attracted to the positive charges in the wall (opposites attract). After a while, the balloon's extra electrons move to the wall and both objects become neutrally charged. Lacking any significant attraction, the balloon will fall off the wall.

Why is it difficult to do on humid day a plastic ruler that has been rubbed with cloth have the ability to pick up small pieces of paper?

On a humid day, the air is more saturated with moisture, making it harder for objects to build up an electrostatic charge, as the moisture helps to dissipate the charge. When a plastic ruler is rubbed with cloth, it gains a negative static charge that allows it to attract small pieces of paper that are neutrally charged. The moisture in the air reduces the effectiveness of the ruler’s static charge, making it more difficult to pick up the paper.


How does a balloon stay on a wall?

It depends on how long it takes for the charge to diminish so that it can no longer hold the balloon against gravity. Principal factors will be the conductivity of the balloon's material, and the humidity of the air.
