When you rub a balloon on your hair, electrons are transferred from your hair to the balloon, giving the balloon a negative charge and your hair a positive charge. This transfer of charges creates static electricity, causing the balloon to stick to objects like a wall or your hair to stand on end.
Rubbing a balloon in your hair can create a static electric charge on the balloon. This charge is usually negative because electrons from your hair are transferred to the balloon, leaving your hair positively charged.
When you rub a balloon on your hair, electrons from your hair are transferred to the balloon, giving it a negative charge. This happens because different materials have different affinities for electrons, causing one material to gain electrons while the other loses them through friction.
Rubbing a balloon on your hair transfers electrons from your hair to the balloon, creating a build-up of static electricity. The rubber balloon's insulating material helps to trap the charge, leading to the balloon becoming charged.
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.
Electrons move between the hair and 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.

Rubbing has transferred some charges from the comb to the ruler. In diagram b, rubbing with a cloth has transferred some charges from the balloon to the sweater.
Yes, rubbing a balloon against your hair can create a static charge. This is because the friction between the balloon and your hair causes the transfer of electrons, leading to a buildup of static electricity on the balloon.
Yes, rubbing a balloon in your hair can generate static friction. This is due to the transfer of electrons between the balloon and your hair, causing them to have opposite charges and resulting in static electricity.
When a balloon is rubbed on your hair, electrons are transferred from your hair to the balloon, giving the balloon a negative charge and your hair a positive charge. This results in an overall negative net charge on the balloon.
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.
Rubbing your hair with a balloon transfers some of the balloon's electrons to your hair, creating a static charge. The like charges between your hair and the balloon repel each other, causing your hair to stand on end.
