Question

An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it had been rubbed with a piece of synthetic
cloth. It was found that the balloon got stuck to the wall. What may be the reason for this?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When the inflated balloon is rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth, it gets charged due to friction. When the balloon is pressed against a wall, the electrostatic force between the balloon and the wall is responsible for the attraction between the balloon and the wall.
