the sand would stand up
A static charge of electricity will be the result.
The polythene becomes negatively charged.
Both get charges oppositely. So they would attract each other if we bring them closer
A damp cloth is a piece of cloth that is slightly wet.
Positive charge
Static charge
it created an electrical charge
Because electrons will be transferred from the cloth to the insulating rod. But the charge will be negative.
when amber is rubbed with silk cloth +ve charge comes on silk cloth and -ve on amber due to interaction between their molecules, so is that when we comb our hairs , then -ve charge comes on comb and +ve on hairs,so when we bring silk cloth near the comb they attract each other due to 'ving opposite charges
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.
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 balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth, the electrons from the atoms of the wool cloth enter the atoms of the balloon and thus, the number of electrons in the atoms of balloon becomes more than the number of protons. Hence, there is a net negative charge in the balloon, whereas in the wool cloth the number of electrons in its atoms become less than the number of protons, hence there is a net positive charge on the wool cloth.
A plastic ruler is rubbed vigorously with a woolen cloth
Insulating materials can acquire a static electric charge. Rubber balloons, when rubbed on woolen cloth, are a perfect example.
When a balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth, the electrons from the atoms of the wool cloth enter the atoms of the balloon and thus, the number of electrons in the atoms of balloon becomes more than the number of protons. Hence, there is a net negative charge in the balloon, whereas in the wool cloth the number of electrons in its atoms become less than the number of protons, hence there is a net positive charge on the wool cloth.
Both rods acquired charge of the same polarity during the rubbing process, so there will be a force of repulsion between them.
