Balloons and Static Electricity

Balloons and Static Electricity turns your screen into a virtual lab for exploring electrostatics. Using smooth Java animation, you can charge balloons through friction against a sweater and immediately see the resulting charge distribution. Manipulate multiple balloons to test attraction and repulsion, and bring them near a wall to observe induced charges. The simulation models real physical behavior, providing an accessible yet accurate way to grasp how static electricity works without needing physical materials.
