Balloons and Static Electricity
Static Electricity Balloon Simulation
Description
Nearly everyone has stuck a balloon to a wall after rubbing it on a sweater, but few can say why. Balloons and Static Electricity draws every positive and negative charge on the sweater, balloon and wall, and when you rub, the charge transfer happens on screen.
Bring the balloon near the wall and see how charges inside it shift and polarize, which explains the attraction.
Charge by rubbing: Drag the balloon over the sweater and charge moves live.
Charge display: Show all charges, none, or only the differences.
Polarization: Near the wall, charges inside rearrange.
