How do corona wires work- in simple English?

they coat the sheet of paper in a positive charge so that the paper has no static build up


What will happen to a piece of paper that contains positive charge if close to the comb contains the negative charge?

It will cause a chain reaction that will wipe out all life on Earth.


Why does a comb attract pieces of paper even when it is not charged?

Nope, this does not contradict coulomb's law. The reason why the pieces of paper are neutral is that they contain equal amount of positive and negative charges and so they cancel each other out. When you bring a charged plastic comb to the pieces of paper, the charge opposite to that of the plastic comb will be brought to a part of the surface of the paper where the plastic comb is. Opposite charges attract each other, and since you're holding the comb, the pieces of paper will be attracted to the comb.


Why a straw rubbed with a paper attracts another straw?

When straw is rubbed with paper it acquires charge due to friction. This straw when brought near uncharged straw induces opposite charge in the region of the uncharged straw nearer 2 the charged one. Then as the law is, unlike charges attract.


What does an electroscopic measure?

An electroscope is an early scientific instrument that is used to detect the presence and magnitude of electric charge on a body. It was the first electrical measuring instrument. The first electroscope, a pivoted needle called the versorium, was invented by British physician William Gilbert around 1600.[1] The pith-ball electroscope and the gold-leaf electroscope are two classical types of electroscope that are still used in physics education to demonstrate the principles of electrostatics. A type of electroscope is also used in the quartz fiber radiation dosimeter.Electroscopes detect electric charge by the motion of a test object due to the Coulomb electrostatic force. The electric potential or voltage of an object equals its charge divided by its capacitance, so electroscopes can be regarded as crude voltmeters. The accumulation of enough charge to detect with an electroscope requires hundreds or thousands of volts, so electroscopes are only used with high voltage sources such as static electricity and electrostatic machines. Electroscopes generally give only a rough, qualitative indication of the magnitude of the charge; an instrument that measures charge quantitatively is called an electrometer.Source : Wikipedia

What is the main purpose of a laser printer charge corona?

When an electrical charge is placed on the drum repels the toner particles that have the same charge. The laser then discharges the drum in specific places, causing toner to stick just to the discharged places on the drum. The toner is then transferred to the paper and the paper is heated to fuse the toner to the paper.
