If two balloons are rubbed on a wool sweater they should stick to each other?

The balloon has a greater affinity for electrons so it obtains a negative charge after being rubbed against the sweater. The balloon, containing a highly negative charge, sticks to the wall because it is attracted to the positive charges in the wall (opposites attract). After a while, the balloon's extra electrons move to the wall and both objects become neutrally charged. Lacking any significant attraction, the balloon will fall off the wall.

∙ 9y agoHow a balloon can stick to a wall When you rub a sweater against a balloon, static electricity is produced. When this occurs, the negative ions are transferred to the balloon. When the now entirely negative touches the entirely positive ion wall, the opposites attract, and the balloon is stuck to the wall.
Bad answer, try this; Idk Pick One
When you rub the balloon against your wool sweater, charge transfer occurs. Negative charges are transferred to the balloon; the sweater is now positively charged (because there are less negative charges) and the balloon is now negatively charged. When the balloon is placed against the surface of the wall, its highly negative charge produces a localized charge rearrangement on the wall, attracting the walls positive charges closer to the point of contact (yet the wall is still neutral since it did not lose nor gain charge). The concentrated positive charges of the wall are equally attracted to the negative charge of the balloon,
Whoever added "and sticks to the wall it sticks to the wall because it is cool" WRONG! Warm vs cool walls have nothing to do with this. (to the writer - I'm guessing that they meant cool to mean awesome, not cold =p)
Think of it Like This..... Opposites Attract.....Likes Repel

∙ 14y agoThe balloon has taken on a static charge. This happens when electrons move from one object to another when two objects, one of which is resistant to electrical flow, are rubbed together. This, in turn, causes the charged materials to be attracted to things with opposite charge, or no charge, and to be repelled by things similarly charged.

∙ 12y agobecause like opposite chrages attract, which makes it stick to the wall
Wiki User
∙ 12y agowhat happens is static. anything that feels like a rug or is fuzzy or anything like that, you rub it with a balloon its going to get static.

∙ 6y agoNo, because they will both have the same polarity of electrostatic charge they will repel each other.

Why do two balloons repel each other after rubbed with wool?
It's due to static electricity build up. The balloons have become charged with electricity and it is the same charge on both balloons (either positive or negative). Opposite charges attract, identical charges repel each other.
What would happen if you put two positively charged balloons together?
You then have two balloons in very nearly the same place.

And if two pieces of rubbed ebonite are brought close together will they repel or attract each other?
repel
Is balloons filled with hydrogen and oxygen?
If I am right in interpreting the question as "Are balloons normally filled with hydrogen and oxygen?", then the answer would be no. Although they can be, as both substances are gases, the majority of balloon are filled with air, a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases. If you mean the balloons that float, they are filled with helium
How is the contact different between a balloon and sweater and a balloon and the wall?
Balloons may stick to a knit sweater, but normally the electromagnetic force will oppose it. However, once a balloon is rubbed on a sweater, it can stick to a wall (or other surface) by creating an electrostatic (magnetic) field with the stationary wall.
When 2 balloons were rubbed with a sock what happens when you put the balloons next to each other?
The static electricity of the balloons means that they repel each other.
You rubbed two balloons together and they stuck together is it possible?
The rubbing generates Static Electricity charges, and since the positive and negative attract each other, the two balloons stick together.
Why do balloons repel each other after they have been rubbed against each other?
It's due to static electricity build up. The balloons have become charged with electricity and it is the same charge on both balloons (either positive or negative). Opposite charges attract, identical charges repel each other.
You watch your friend rub a balloon on their sweater and then stick it to the wall. To investigate, you set up an experiment to test what happens with other objects. What's the test variable in your experiment?
Answer: When you put the balloon on the wall after you rubbed it on the sweater. the balloon would either stick to the wall or repel from the wall depending on what kind of electrons there are on the sweater
Why do two balloons repel each other after rubbed with wool?
It's due to static electricity build up. The balloons have become charged with electricity and it is the same charge on both balloons (either positive or negative). Opposite charges attract, identical charges repel each other.
How big are balloons?
BIG balloons are made fromrubber balloons are made from other materials.
What will happen when two balloons are brought together right after they are rubbed on a piece of wool?
When you rub one balloon with wool, and then rub another balloon with wool, we can safely assume that both balloons acquire the same kind of charge. So when you try to bring them together, they'll repel each other (push apart).
What is the other meaning of rubbed?
of Rub
