How will you charge an inflated rubber balloon by the method of friction?

An inflated balloon can be charged by rubbing it against the woolen cloth.


 


Explanation: Upon rubbing, the wool loses electrons and it causes the electrons to move from the wool to the balloon’s surface. The rubbed part of the balloon now has a negative charge.
