Move the balloon over the sweater. Observe the movement of the charges. In part of your lab report, describe what happens to the charges and make a note of the new net charge on each object, including a screenshot of the balloon and sweater. Explain what is happening and give some other examples of this phenomenon that you have encountered in real life.

Static electricity pretty much what is happening is that the electrons and protons are moving from the sweater and the balloon making them and even because they start with an even number of protons and electrons making it equivalent to zero but once they moved around to the sweater and balloon then it became uneven and static electricity happens

Explanation:

it will be pushed away from the source of the electric field. a negative charge in a cloud induces a positive charge in the ground below the cloud.
