Balloon Sticking to a Wall





Stage 1: Take a balloon and rub it against your hair.

This gives the balloon a negative charge.


Stage 2 : Move the balloon close to a wall.

The negative charges on the wall are repelled away from the balloon and the positive charges are attracted to the balloon. This gives a force of attraction between the balloon and wall.


Stage 3 : Let the balloon touch the wall.

The force of attraction is enough to hold the balloon against the wall against the force of gravity.
