Two new uninflated balloons do not attract or repel each other. But after blowing them up, they repel each other and stick to the wall, without having to be rubbed against hair or anything else. Why do balloons gain charge simply by being inflated?
It seems that the newly-inflated balloons gain a positive charge, as they attract other balloons that have been rubbed against hair. Does inflating a balloon cause it to lose electrons?
