Why does the balloon stick to the wall after it is rubbed on the wool sweater?
When you rub a balloon against your clothes and it sticks to the wall, you are adding a surplus of electrons (negative charges) to the surface of the balloon. The wall is now more positively charged than the balloon.
What happens to the negative charges in the wall when the balloon is brought near them?
When the charged balloon is brought near the wall, it repels some of the negatively charged electrons in that part of the wall (negative charges repel other negative charges, and positive charges repel other positive charges). Therefore, that part of the wall is left repelled.
