What is the glass transition temperature of silk?
The glass temperature transition is for glass, polymers, etc. (amorphous or semicrystalline materials), but not for leather.
What effect of silk of thread gives it a natural shine?
cheese
When the glass rod is rubbed to the silk the electrons are transfered?
both get charged but with charges of opposite nature
What are examples of a natural plastics?
Skin, hair, and nails are made of keratin, a protein. Silk is a protein, too. Chitin, the material of the lobsters' and insects' exoskeleton, is a polysaccharide similar to starch.
What is the difference between artificial silk and pure silk?
pure silk comes from silk fibers artificial silk comes from fibers that soft and "feel silky".
Will rubbing a silk cloth on glass cause electrons to move to the cloth?
Yes, rubbing a silk cloth on glass cause electrons to move to the cloth. As a result, glass rod acquires positive charge and silk acquires negative charge.
If rubber is a good insulator why do balloons attract static electricity?
Insulators can easily have static electricity. In case of conductors we have to follow some delicate procedure to store charges on it. Usually that is known to be electrostatic induction. But in case of insulators just rubbing would do to produce static electricity. Example: when a glass rod is rubbed against a silk cloth, then glass lose electrons to the silk and so glass becomes positively charged and silk negatively charged. So balloons being a bad conductor is good example to have static electricity. If it is good conductor then charges would flow through them easily and so not possible to produce static electricity just by rubbing.
How bodies get charged?
A body gets charged by the friction of one body rubbing against another. When an object made of a substance like glass, plastic, ebonite, amber nylon, hard rubber etc., is rubber with wool, fur or silk, it acquires an electric charge.
What charge do you get if glass is rubbed with silk?
the silk will rub of the electrons on the silk, leaving the glass positively charged
What material stops people from getting shocked?
Insulators are materials opposite of conductors. The atoms are not easily freed and are stable, preventing or blocking the flow of electricity.Some examples of insulators are: glass, porcelain, plastic, and rubber.
Example based on conservation of charge?
Example based on conservation of charge : Glass rod rubbed with silk: When a glass rod is rubbed with silk ,glass rod attains positive charge and silk acquires equal negative charge .Although positive and negative charge have been developed , the net charge on the system is zero , i.e., the same as was before rubbing . NOTE: Rubbing does not create charge but only transfers heat it from one body to another. The charge that is gained by one body is lost by the other .Hence electric charge is conserved.
What is more Smooth silk or glass?
I'm guessing silk because glass is a solid and doesn't "flow" like silk does.
What is the differencein the charges on a balloon rubbed in your hair and a glass rod rubbed with silk?
One is a negative static charge, the other positive. The exact charge depends on how long and how vigorous the rubbing is. teehee
What is the glass transition temperature of silk?
The glass temperature transition is for glass, polymers, etc. (amorphous or semicrystalline materials), but not for leather.
What kind of electric charge gets developed on the glass rod when it is rubbed with a piece of silk cloth?
When glass rod is rubbed with silk cloth it becomes positively charged and the silk cloth becomes negatively charged. This is because the glass rod looses electrons to the silk cloth which makes it positive and the silk cloth becomes negative.
What is the significance of the town shed act of 1767?
The TownShend Act were British laws that taxed goods such as glass, paint, paper, silk, tea. :]
When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth which substance looses electron?
Silk Cloth
