What is added to dust particles in the electric dust blower that makes them adhere to surfaces better?

static charge


If a dust particle floated in the air near some free electrons that had been released by an electrostatic device what would happen?

The electrons would attract to the dust, thus making the dust have a negative charge. After this the dust will stick to any neutral object due to this new charge.


Why do you think vinyl phonograph records attract dust so avidly?

Because they build up a static charge which is opposite to that of the dust in the air.

Why does dust always collect on television and computer screens?

This is mostly true on the older ones, since the screens held an electrostatic charge. So the electron charge attracts dust that has the opposite charge. If the newer stuff is getting dusty, it is a static charge too, but the device is not actively creating it. Plastic can be prone to building a charge on its own or with rubbing.


Why will dust be attracted to a CD wiped with a dry cloth?

Dust will be attracted to a CD wiped with a dry cloth because it generates static electricity. This in turn causes dust to be attracted.


Why does an insulator not lose its charge?

the dust particles keep the electrons inside and remake them they dust particles can be swept off but a few remain inside the insulator!!! this is very confusing!!! :) Static electricity can't move in an insulator and it will only lose it's charge if it is earthed.


Why is a neutral dust particle attracted to a charged object?

If charge can flow within the neutral particle and you place it near a charged object, like charges tend to move toward the object and opposite charges move away. This splitting of the charge gives the neutral dust particle an electric dipole moment.


Why do ceiling fans still collect dust while running constantly?

Because human skin cells (the main constituent of dust) will cling to almost anything - whether it's moving or not ! Additionally, the motor driving the fan will have a minute static charge when running - which will attract dust particles.


How do you separate dust from air?

first you use the Mechanisms of terminology to protect the surface of the tension to grab the dust to mist to the unconventional evaporation so the distillation can now separate from the dust. The critical ethics of analyses shows that this works 100% if used in the correct format.Some devices use an electrostatic charge to attract dust particles to a surface which can be cleaned and reused.

How do you turn on redstone lamps in minecraft?

They need to be supplied with a charge. You can light them by placing a redstone torch on an adjacent block, or you could link them with redstone dust to a lever, the level will provide a charge when 'on' and light the lamp.
