When you rub inflated balloon with your hair or your kitten's fur, charge is induced on all over the balloon's surface. This is called "charging by friction" because you developed charges by rubbing to bodies with each other. It will also stick on your wall you can check it out. This is because of "unlike charges attract each other". Rubbed balloon and wall possessed unlike charges which made them stick together.

Why is it important that a finger be wet<br> before it is touched to a hot clothes iron?
AleksandrR [38]

Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.
