Why does an insulator not lose its charge?
the dust particles keep the electrons inside and remake them they dust particles can be swept off but a few remain inside the insulator!!! this is very confusing!!! :) Static electricity can't move in an insulator and it will only lose it's charge if it is earthed.
Can an insulator be charged?
Insulating materials can acquire a static electric charge. Rubber balloons, when rubbed on woolen cloth, are a perfect example.
Does static electricity move around an insulator?
Static electricity doesn't move around at all, but it can be generated on an insulator such as balloons.
Why does the amount of static charge continue to increase on a glass surface as you rub it?
Glass is an insulator and will not allow excess charge to leave, as insulators prevent electrons from flowing freely from atom to atom.

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 is the definition of stationary electricity?
A static electrical charge is carried on an insulating material. This is usually in the form of an excess of electrons attached to the insulator. A static charge may only be carried on the outside of a container - for the usual laws of repulsion apply. You could also consider the charge carried by a capacitor to be a static charge - in this case, the charge is carried in the form of distortion of the molecules of the insulator internal to the capacitor. A form of piezo charge. Another possibility would be the charge carried inside a chemical cell, which is generated by the reactions inside. Commonly miscalled a battery, though that name strictly applies to an assembly of cells, not a single one.
Is the picture tube a conductor or an insulator Explain your answer?
A picture tube is an insulator. The electrons would gather up and so, create an electric charge when the TV is on. If it was a conductor, the charge would not build up. Hope this helps :)
Is lighting a static charge or is it produce by static charge?
Lighting is caused by static charge, not that lighting is a static charge . It happen when unlike charge come in attraction.
What is static electricity and why is this name used?
Static electricity is when a group of atoms form together. When friction happens atoms create a negative charge and a shock is formed.
What kind of hair brush doesn't create hair static?
One hundred percent natural bristle (usually pig). All synthetic bristles will create a static charge. Mason & Peason is a good brand.
Accumulation of electric charges on a object?
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
