Plastic is a very good insulator. As such, if it come in contacts with another type of material, electrons may be added or removed from the insulator. When an object becomes positively or negatively charged, it may stick to other types of objects through electron interactions.

What will happen after you rub the balloon?
Rubbing a balloon can create static electricity, causing the balloon to become negatively charged. This can lead to the balloon sticking to surfaces or attracting small objects like paper or hair due to the static charge.
What will happen if you rub 1 balloon your shirt or your hair and then touch it to the wall what will it do?
As long as it isn't excessively humid, the balloons will pick up a significant static electricity charge. Because they pick up the same charge - they will tend to repel each other, but be attracted to other surfaces including your hands - and if you want to have some fun - walls, where you can place them and have them remain more or less in place.
How does confetti stick to a balloon?
Confetti sticks to a balloon due to static electricity. When the balloon rubs against the confetti, the friction causes charges to build up on the balloon's surface, attracting the confetti pieces. This static electricity helps the confetti stick to the balloon.
How can you move a drinks can with a balloon?
You can move a drinks can with a balloon by creating static electricity on the balloon and then using that static charge to attract the can. Rub the balloon against your hair or a piece of fabric to generate static electricity, then hold the balloon near the can to make it move. The can will be attracted to the charged balloon due to static electricity.
Is rubbing a balloon current or static electricity?
Rubbing a balloon creates static electricity. This is when the friction between the balloon and another object causes electrons to be transferred, leading to a buildup of static charge on the balloon.

What kind of electricity does the balloon have after it was rubbed on the woolen cloth?
The balloon will have static electricity after being rubbed on the woolen cloth. This results from the transfer of electrons between the balloon and the cloth, causing the balloon to become negatively charged.
Does the balloon size affect the amount of static electricity it can give off?
Yes, the size of a balloon can affect the amount of static electricity it can give off. A larger balloon can hold a greater charge and potentially generate more static electricity compared to a smaller balloon. However, other factors such as the material of the balloon and environmental conditions can also impact the amount of static electricity generated.
Does hair color affect balloon static electricity?
Hair color itself does not affect balloon static electricity. The static electricity created when rubbing a balloon on hair is due to the friction between the two materials, not the color of the hair.
What is the type of electricity you create by rubbing a balloon on your head?
Static electricity.
What will happen if you rub a balloon on woolen cloth?
Rubbing a balloon on woolen cloth will generate static electricity on the surface of the balloon. The balloon will then have a negative charge, attracting positively charged objects nearby, due to static electricity buildup.
What is a sentence with the word static electricity?
This static electricity makes my hair stand on end!
If you rub a balloon against your shirt and put it close to a very very small stream of water the stream of water moves to the balloon - is this something to do with electromagnetic waves?
No, it's static electricity. The balloon 'steals' electrons from your shirt (triboelectric charging) leaving it with a negative charge. The water has no net electric charge, since it consists of both positively and negatively charged ions. However, the individual negative charges are repelled by the balloon, and as they move away from it they become less relevant. The attractive force felt by the positively charged ions now dominates, drawing the thread of water towards the balloon.
