Investigate static electricity and electric charges. Rub balloons against a sweater to transfer charges, explore attractions and repulsions, and discover why a charged balloon sticks to a neutral wall.
🎮 Try It
• Drag the yellow balloon over the sweater to collect negative charges and watch what happens when you let go.
• Move the charged balloon near the wall to observe how the negative charges inside the wall shift away.
• Click Add green balloon to charge both balloons and see how they interact with each other.
🎯 Your Mission
Charge both balloons on the sweater and position them so they push each other away in mid-air.
🌍 Real-World Connection
Rubbing a party balloon against your hair allows it to stick to a wall because the static charge on the balloon attracts the neutral wall surface.
