When a balloon rubs against hair, it transfers some of its electrons to the hair, giving the hair a positive charge. The positively charged hair strands then repel each other, causing them to stand up and away from the head, giving the appearance of "static electricity" or hair standing on end.
What else can I help you with?
Why does a balloon rubbed in your hair make your hair stand up?
When you rub a balloon against your hair, it creates static electricity. This transfer of electrons from the balloon to your hair causes the individual strands of your hair to become positively charged and repel each other, making them stand up.
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.
Why when putting a balloon on hair it goes up?
When you rub a balloon on your hair, it creates static electricity. The static charge in the balloon causes the balloon and your hair to have opposite charges, making them attracted to each other. The positively charged hair is attracted to the negatively charged balloon, causing the hair to stick up.
Why does your hair stand on end when rubbed with a balloon?
Rubbing a balloon against your hair creates a build-up of static electricity on the surface of the balloon, which then applies an opposite charge to your hair. This causes your hair strands, which are similarly charged, to repel each other and stand on end.
Why does a balloon stick to the wall after you rub it against your hair?
It has electro static cells that form when re-peatedly rubbed wich creates friction ending with a attraction to the item of your choice. When you rub the balloon you create a static charge that is positive and the attraction that makes it stick to the wall is because the wall has a negative charge and like poles attract.

Give a practical example of static electricity?
An example is rubbing your head with a balloon. If you rubbed hard enough, your hair should stand up. Also, when you are VERY close to lightning, your hair stands up!!
Why does a balloon with static pick up paper?

How is science related to energy?
Science is related to energy because you can have a balloon and make energy with it,You can do that by rubbing the balloon on the hair and then move the balloon up and the hair will stick up if yo uhave done it correctly.
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 :)
Why does a balloon stick to the wall after you rub it against your hair?

When you rub the balloon you create a static charge that is positive and the attraction that makes it stick to the wall is because the wall has a negative charge and like poles attract.
How does a balloon make your hair stick up?
You rub it on your hair. This causes static electricity, thus making your hair stand stick up.P.S:Sorry i know its not a big deal but it makes it sound like your hair was sitting and then it gets up.
Why does rubbing your hair with a balloon cause static electricity?
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.
When you rub an air filles balloon with your dry hair and press it against the wall . Explain why?
Rubbing the balloon against your dry hair transfers electrons from your hair to the balloon, giving the balloon a negative charge. When you then place the negatively charged balloon against the wall, it creates an attraction with the positive charges in the wall, causing the balloon to stick due to static electricity.
What is the difference in the charges on a balloon rubbed in your hair and a glass rod rubbed with silk?
Oh, dude, okay, so when you rub a balloon in your hair, it picks up some extra electrons, giving it a negative charge. When you rub a glass rod with silk, the rod loses some electrons, so it ends up with a positive charge. It's like a little electron swap meet, but with static electricity.
