When an object is charged by rubbing how to identify whether the charge of the object is positive or negative?
by its properties.i.e whether a metal or any insulator
What particles has a negative charge and which has a positive charge?
Negative charge = electron Positive charge = positron Positive charge = proton
What is a positive charge and particles called that have no charge?
A positive charge is a positive electrical charge. Particles with no charge are called neutral particles.
Can you ever give something a positive charge by giving it protons?
You can give it a positive charge, but that is mainly done by rubbing something on the surface you'd like to be positive. The thing ( fur, hair, or other material that cause much frictions) will rub away electrons from the surface, causing it to become positive. In a lab you could technically add positive ions to make a material positive, but outside that it can hardly or not at all be done.
What is the charge when rubbing styrofoam with cloth?
A static charge of electricity will be the result.
Is ebonite charged?
yes ebonite rod is charged and it has positive charge on it.
How can a conductor be made to hold its charge?
It is not possible to make a ordinary conductor hold it's charge permanently.But you can make a ordinary conductor(e.g.,)a wire to hold charge for a short period.This is because a charge stored in a conductor leaks to the surroundings due to ionisation of air. But it is possible to charge a conductor like a copper sphere. for this the copper sphere is first connected to ground and a negatively charged ebonite rod near it.the copper sphere becomes positive as the negative charges in it flow to the ground.the sphere is disconnected from ground and the ebonite rod is taken away.now the copper sphere holds positive charge. note: it is easy to charge an ebonite rod by rubbing it with fur.
What happens when you rub ebonite against fur?
the ebonite will get negative charge
What is ebonite's charge?
Negative.
Can charge flow through ebonite rod?
No, ebonite is an insulator. Charges can reside on the surface but not flow through
What happens when rub an ebonite with a wool cloth?
The ebonite rod will gather a static electric charge, as electrons are transferred.
Does rubbing a polythene rod with a duster take away positive charge from the cloth?
no
How is a positive charge usually given to a neutral object?
Friction will give a positive charge to a neutral object by conduction. This is done by rubbing two different materials together.
Is ebonite a conductor?
Ebonite is a poor conductor of electricity, it is an insulator. Electrons cannot move easily within it, but can it form and hold a static charge.
What kind of charge is induced on a metal-leaf electroscope by an ebonite rod?
Static
What happens when you rub an ebonite stick with a wool cloth?
Electrons are tranferred to the stick, causing it to take on a negative charge
What happens when you rub vinyl with wool cloth?
You build a charge when rubbing vinyl with a wool cloth. The wool cloth is very weak in holding electrons so when you rub it with the ebonite rod the electrons transfer onto the rod. The rod is negatively charged (assuming that the rod was neutrally charged). The wool becomes positively charged (assuming that the wool was neutrally charged)
