If you rub a balloon on a jumper, how does the balloon become negatively charged?

• The balloon becomes positively charged by gaining protons from the jumper.
• The balloon remains neutral and does not change charge when rubbed on the jumper.
• The balloon becomes negatively charged due to the transfer of electrons from the jumper to the balloon.
• The jumper loses electrons to the air, causing the balloon to become charged.

What type of materials when rubbed together can cause static electricity?

• Conductors

• Insulators
