No, balloons generally do not carry a charge by themselves. If a balloon is charged, it is likely due to a build-up of static electricity from rubbing against another object or material.

When you rub two balloons with wool and gets static do they attract?

Yes, when you rub two balloons with wool and create static electricity, the balloons will become charged. As a result of this charge, the balloons will then attract each other due to the electromagnetic forces between them.


What is an example of two object s with the same charge?

An example of two objects with the same charge would be two positively charged balloons. When objects have the same charge, they repel each other due to the like charges.


Why do two balloons repel when you rub them together and they are tied together on the same string?

When you rub the balloons together, they become charged with static electricity. Since both balloons have the same charge (either positive or negative), they will repel each other due to the electrostatic force. As a result, the two balloons on the same string will push away from each other.


Do the balloons have the same charges. Each balloon is pushing the other away?

The balloons likely have the same charge, causing them to repel each other due to the electrostatic force. This repulsion is a result of like charges (positive or negative) creating a force that pushes the balloons apart.


Did the balloons acquire the same charge or different charge?

The balloons likely acquired different charges. When objects rub against each other, one may lose electrons and become positively charged while the other gains electrons and becomes negatively charged. This results in the balloons having opposite charges.
