Why does the hair crackles when you comb your hair briskly with a plastic comb?
When you comb your hair briskly with a plastic comb, it can create static electricity. Static electricity occurs when objects with opposite charges rub against each other, resulting in a buildup of electrical charges. This buildup causes hair strands to repel each other, leading to a crackling or popping sound.
When you comb your hair with a plastic comb what will the sign be on the charge acquired by the comb?
Negative.
How does a plastic comb and dry hair produce electricity?
friction dry hair + comb = friction
What kind of electricity was produced when you rub a comb briskly several times against your hair?
Electrostatic force of attraction!
What is a plastic curry comb used for?
it does the same job as a rubber curry comb, it loosens dirt, hair and grease
How does a plastic comb and your hair dry produce electricity?
dryhair + comb is equal to friction. f***ing b****
Is hair and comb an example of electrical energy?
Yes, when combing your hair, static electricity is produced.
Why does your'e hair stand up when you brush it with a plastic comb?
Your hair stands up because of static electricity. When you brush your hair with a comb, your hair builds up a static charge that will cause it to raise up.
Charging by friction eg?
When we rub the hair with a comb then charges could be produced on the comb. When this comb is taken near by a bit of paper then that piece would be attracted towards the charged comb.
What is a Brush?
to comb your hair A brush is an implement with a plastic/wooden handle and bristles that is used to take tangles out of hair.
How do you comb hair?
run the comb through the hair
How is electricity produced with a plastic comb and dry hair?
An imbalance in electric charge in non-conductors like hair and a plastic comb can be produced by the mechanical work done on the materials. This amounts to a buildup of static electricity by generating pairs of charge carriers - electrons on one material (the comb) leaving the hair positively charged. Normally there is no completed circuit or appreciable current, the electrostatic discharge of the potential created with static electricity might be manifest as a spark, or on larger scales a lightning bolt. In the case of the comb and hair one can appeal to the atomic model to explain the phenomenon; some materials can lose electrons from their outer shells where the attraction to those electrons is a bit weaker, other materials with incomplete outer shells may tend to gain them. This is called contact-induced charge separation, the action of combing through the hair being the cause.
