How can you make the balloon stick to the sweater?

You can make the balloon stick to the sweater by creating static electricity on the sweater. Rub the balloon against your hair or a wool sweater to create a charge, then place the balloon near the sweater to make it stick due to the static electricity.


Why would a balloon stick to a paper if you rubbed it on your hair or sweater?

Rubbing a balloon on hair or a sweater causes it to accumulate a static charge. When the charged balloon comes near the paper, it can actually induce the opposite charge on the paper, creating an attractive force between the two objects. This is known as static electricity.


What would be an a static electricity experiment?

Balloons are fun with static electricity. Rub a blown up balloon on the carpet and see if it will stick to a wall. Then rub a blown up balloon on the carpet and see what happens when you put it on or near your hair. Of course, there's always the old favorite of scooting across the carpet in your socks and touching the nose of your dog or cat with the tip of your finger. Have fun.


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.


Will a comb rubbed on the hair once attract pieces of paper everytime they are brought near?

no , because it is a temporary .the charge will remain displaced for 1- 3 Min's

Why is paper attracted when a scale is rubbed on hair and brought near to the paper?

When the scale is rubbed on hair, it becomes charged with static electricity. The paper is attracted to the scale because it has the opposite charge due to the transfer of electrons during the rubbing process. The attraction occurs because opposite charges attract each other.


Why things are attracted when you place them near computer screen?

You don't say what kind of things but if they're light things like paper or hair, it would be static electricity.


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.


Does water temperature affect how much the water bends with static electricity?

I don't know about "stick to," but if you turn on a tap so that just a thin stream of water is coming out you can actually bend it by bringing an object with a static charge near the stream.


What is the kind of force static electricity makes?

make pieces of paper then take a plastic scale and rub it on your hair and then take it near the pieces, observe ans : the pieces of cloth flies in the and sticks to the scale this is called STATIC ELECTRIC FORCE
