What happens when 2 objects rub against each other?
They create friction, which can cause things to shock you.
Why do you get shocked when you rub wood and fur together?
When you rub wood & fur together, a heat/electric energy is released. this energy is called "friction". Friction moves so fast that the "shock" you feel is actually the energy moving to your body.
What is a perspex rod?
It's a rod made out of a certain type of plastic, i have most commonly seen them used in science lessons at high school, if you rub them against a piece of fur they will become negatively charged because electrons from the fur travel into the perspex rod. hope that helps. alice.
When is friction greatest?
Friction is greatest in the absent of lubrication. This happens when two objects rub against each other and this might be useful or harmful depending on the set up.
What happens when a rubber rod is rubbed with a piece of fur?
normally, the rubber rod and the peice of fur has an equal number of protons and electrons, making each balanced. When you rub these two together, the rubber rod takes on electrons from the fur, giving the rod more electrons than normal. A negative charge, where as the fur loses electrons creating a positive charge.
What happens when rub an ebonite with a wool cloth?
The ebonite rod will gather a static electric charge, as electrons are transferred.
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 ebonite with a wood cloth?
electrons are transferred to the stick,causing it to take on a negative charge.
What happens when you rub ebonite stik with a wood cloth?

What happens when you rub amber against wool?

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)
