When acetate is rubbed against your hair which loses and which gains electrons?
Acetate loses electrons, and the hair gains electrons. So acetate is negatively charged, meaning that the hair is positively charged.
What is the polarity of rubber?
The polarity or charge of rubber when rubbed with the appropriate material is negative.
An unknown material is rubbed with silk and becomes charged Explain how you could use a negative acetate strip or a positive glass rod to determine the type of charge on the unknown material?
If you move the material near the negative acetate strip and they repel each other, the material negatively charged. If they move towards each other, it is positively charged. If you move the material near the positive rod and they attract, the material is negatively charged. If they repel, it is positively charged. This is because opposite charges attract and same charges repel.
What is the definition of electrical charge?
Benjamin Franklin was the man that defined negative and positive charge. In the nineteenth century, positive and negative charge was known as vitreous and resinous charge, respectively.Franklin defined negative charge as the charge of a piece of amber after being rubbed against glass.
An inflated rubber balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth until an excess of a billion electrons is on the balloon. what is the magnitude of the charge on the balloons?
1.602x10(-10)
When an acetate strip is charged by a rubbing does it acquire a positive charge or a negative charge?
A charged acetate strip would be negatively charged. So, it would acquire positive charge to become neutral.
Can an insulator be charged?
Insulating materials can acquire a static electric charge. Rubber balloons, when rubbed on woolen cloth, are a perfect example.
When a polythene rod is rubbed with a duster it becomes negatively charged . why?
Because electrons are rubbed off the cloth and build up on the polythene.
What happens to the atoms in an object to generate a charge imbalance when it is rubbed with a duster?
I think you mean 'static electricity', it happens when the two objects exchange electrons, so the object will be charged either positively or negatively.
When acetate is rubbed against your hair which loses and which gains electrons?
Acetate loses electrons, and the hair gains electrons. So acetate is negatively charged, meaning that the hair is positively charged.
Why two bodies rubbed against each other acquire equal and opposite charges?
When the bodies are rubbed against each other one body transffers electrons to the other body. Since there are no new electrons produced or destroyed the charge is equal.
Why does a plastic comb rubbed with a duster cause a thin stream of water to bend?
When you rub the comb against the duster it charges up the electrons,the electrons in the comb and the electrons in the water will repel
A rubbed balloon will stick to a wooden wall which demonstrated charge?
A rubbed balloon will stick to a wooden wall demonstrating the charge of static electricity. The friction of the rubbing of the balloon causes the charge to build.
What type of charge does plastic collect when rubbed?
positive
When the perspex rod is rubbed with nylon and the rod becomes positively charge what charge will be on the nylon?
