Attraction of a can with a balloon

When we friction two elements such as the balloon with a wool cloth, the electrons of one element pass to the other, so that one element is left with more electrons and another with fewer electrons. By bringing the balloon closer to a metal can it is attracted by the negative charges of the balloon. This phenomenon is known as "static electricity".
