How rubbing the balloon on your hair and your hair will stick onto the balloon?

Rubbing a balloon on your hair creates static electricity, which causes your hair to have a positive charge. The balloon, in turn, becomes negatively charged. Opposite charges attract, so the negatively charged balloon will attract the positively charged hair, causing it to stick to the balloon.


Why is paper attracted to negatively charged balloon?

opposite electric charge


When you rub a balloon on your hairwhat go's to the balloon?

The friction between two different materials in the right combination (this case your hair and a rubber balloon) causes free valence electrons (the electrons in the outer most orbit around an atom) to move from one item to the other, causing an excess of electrons (negative charge) in one and a deficit (positive) in the other. When put near the paper with an opposite charge, the paper will jump to the balloon. Opposites attract.


Why is DNA sticky when extracted?

While glass is positively charged, the oxygen in the DNA, which is negatively charged, is attracted to it, making it "sticky". DNA is mostly composed of oxygen meaning that it can stick to pretty much anything.


What are three examples of situations where electrostatic forces can be observed?

Rubbing a balloon on hair and seeing it stick to a wall, as the balloon picks up excess electrons and becomes negatively charged. Lightning during a thunderstorm, where there is a discharge of built-up electric charge between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. Static electricity causing clothes to cling together in a dryer, due to the transfer of electrons between the fabric.

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.


Would a negatively charged balloon stick to a metal wall as easily as to a wooden wall?

No, a negatively charged balloon would stick more easily to a metal wall compared to a wooden wall due to the higher conductivity of metals. The charges on the balloon induce opposite charges on the metal surface, creating a stronger attractive force.


How rubbing the balloon on your hair and your hair will stick onto the balloon?

Rubbing a balloon on your hair creates static electricity, which causes your hair to have a positive charge. The balloon, in turn, becomes negatively charged. Opposite charges attract, so the negatively charged balloon will attract the positively charged hair, causing it to stick to the balloon.


Does a negatively charged balloon stick to a wooden wall?

Yes, a negatively charged balloon can stick to a wooden wall due to the electrostatic attraction between the balloon and the wall. The negative charge on the balloon induces a positive charge on the surface of the wood, creating an attractive force that causes the balloon to stick.


A balloon will stick to a wooden wall if the balloon is charged?

Yes, the balloon can stick to a wooden wall if it is charged. This is because objects with opposite charges attract each other, causing the balloon to stick to the wall due to the electrostatic force.


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 rub a balloon on your head why does little pieces of paper stick to the balloon?

Rubbing a balloon on your head creates static electricity. The balloon becomes negatively charged, which attracts the positively charged paper bits. This attraction causes the paper bits to stick to the balloon.


What makes a balloon stick to the wall?

A balloon can stick to a wall due to static electricity. When you rub the balloon against your hair or a wool cloth, it gains a negative charge. The negatively charged balloon is attracted to the neutral or positively charged wall, causing it to stick temporarily.


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


What will happen if you rub a balloon with your hand?

Rubbing a balloon with your hand will cause the balloon to become negatively charged. This is due to the transfer of electrons from your hand to the balloon, creating a static electric charge. The negatively charged balloon can then attract positively charged objects or even stick to certain surfaces due to static electricity.


What happens when you rub a balloon through your hair?

Rubbing a balloon through your hair creates static electricity, transferring electrons from your hair to the surface of the balloon. This results in the balloon becoming negatively charged, causing it to stick to objects or repel other negatively charged items.
