If you rub a copper rod rather than a polythene rod the copper rod will not stay charged why not?
because copper cannot conduct static energy but polythene can.
What is the difference between biodegradable polythene and ordinary polythene?
The main difference between Ordinary Polythene & Biodegradable polythene is: * Ordinary polythene takes an around 100 + years to degrade... * Biodegradable/Degradable polythene degrades or biodegrades in around 5 yrs depending on how it's made and how its disposed. However, biodegradation starts in the presence of sunlight, moisture, mechanical stress and/or microorganisms... For more information on biodegradable polythene film please visit www.polybags.co.uk who offers both type of bags and will be able help you more... http://www.polybags.co.uk/index_scroll.htm?main=cs_898.htm.
Is polythene ductile or brittle?
is polythene ductile or brittle?
What is the monomer use to make polythene?
This monomer is ethene (or ethylene) - C2H4.
What is copper rod?
it is a rod made of copper
What is a polythene rod?
Polythene is an abbreviated form of the word polyethylene, which is a common type of plastic. Plastic can be used to make a rod.
If you rub a copper rod rather than a polythene rod the copper rod will not stay charged why not?
because copper cannot conduct static energy but polythene can.
How to charge an object by friction?
An object can be charged by friction when rubbed against another surface such asa) polythene rod rubbed against a woollen cloth.This occurred because the woollen cloth lost some of it negative charges when it was rubbed, the negative charges was then transferred to the polythene rod. Now the polythene rod has been charge by friction.For proof... after it has been charged,place the polythene rod next to some *very small bits of paper and see what happens.
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.
Does rubbing a polythene rod with a duster take away positive charge from the cloth?
no
What happens when charged polythene rod come close together?
they repel one another
If you rub a polythene rod with a cloth will it become magnetic?
No, it will not become magnetic. It will become electrically charged.
What will happen if a polythene rod rubbed with dry woolen cloth brought near another polythene rod also rubbed with a dry woolen cloth?
Both rods acquired charge of the same polarity during the rubbing process, so there will be a force of repulsion between them.
What type of material is a sheet of polythene?
Polythene (polyethylene) sheet is made from polymerized ethylene monomer.
Is polythene made of carbon and hydrogen?
Yes.
What is the difference between Bakelite and polythene in nature?
Made from different materials. Bakelite is hard and rather brittle, polythene is softer and flexible.
Are plastic made from chemicals?
Yes, like Polyester, Polythene
