When a balloon becomes charged with static electricity, it can create an attractive force with the opposite charge on the wall. This attraction causes the balloon to stick to the wall temporarily. The static charge on the balloon and the wall interact to create this phenomenon.
What else can I help you with?
Would a balloon stick to metal if rubbed against your head?
No, a balloon filled with static electricity will not stick to metal if rubbed against your head. The static charge on the balloon and your head would not be strong enough to hold the balloon to the metal.
What surfaces would a balloon stick to?
A balloon will stick to surfaces that are smooth and have a slight static charge, such as walls, glass, plastic, and certain types of fabric. The static electricity in the balloon can cause it to cling to these surfaces temporarily.
How much static eletricity should you need for the balloon to stick to the roof?
You would need a significant amount of static electricity for a balloon to stick to the ceiling. Static electricity is caused by an imbalance of electric charge on an object, creating attraction or repulsion. The amount of static electricity required to make a balloon stick to the ceiling would depend on the size of the balloon, the material it's made from, and the type of ceiling surface.
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.
Why doesn't a compass seem to be affected by a negatively-charged balloon?
The compass would only be affected by a magnetic field. The charge on the balloon would not create the field unless there was a current flow. The charge on the balloon is called "static" because it doesn't flow.
Would a balloon stick to metal if rubbed against your head?
No, a balloon filled with static electricity will not stick to metal if rubbed against your head. The static charge on the balloon and your head would not be strong enough to hold the balloon to the metal.
What surfaces would a balloon stick to?

Why is paper attracted to negatively charged balloon?
opposite electric charge

Why does a balloon stick to the wall when you rub it on your head?
electrons are transferred from your hair to the balloon . so ballon gets a negative charge . so there is a transfer of energy when you rub your hair with balloon and static electricity is producedP.S. : HAIR SHOULD BE DRY

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 small pieces of tissue paper near a rubbed balloon why would they probably stick to the balloon?
Yes, small pieces of tissue paper would likely stick to a rubbed balloon because the balloon becomes charged with static electricity when rubbed, creating an attractive force between the balloon and the tissue paper. This attraction is due to the transfer of electrons from one surface to another, resulting in static cling between the two materials.
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.
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.
How would the photograph look if each balloon were given the opposite to the charge it has now?
If each balloon were given the opposite charge, the balloons would attract each other instead of repelling. They would come together and possibly stick together, forming a cluster or a chain depending on the arrangement of the balloons in the original photograph.
