You can use the electrostatic series to determine charge by looking at the substances higher on the list will always lose electrons and becomes positively charged and the substances lower on the list always gains electrons and becomes negatively charged
The polythene becomes negatively charged.
When straw is rubbed with paper it acquires charge due to friction. This straw when brought near uncharged straw induces opposite charge in the region of the uncharged straw nearer 2 the charged one. Then as the law is, unlike charges attract.
I think you mean 'static electricity', it happens when the two objects exchange electrons, so the object will be charged either positively or negatively.
both get charged but with charges of opposite nature
when rubbed with hair, ruler acquires some charge due to static electricity...becomes charged body and attracts tiny pieces of paper towards it.
The acetate rod loses electrons and becomes positively charged.
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.
Friction from rubbing the balloon on a sleeve creates static electricy,therefore the balloon becomes negatively charged.
a negative charge
Both are examples of static electricity generation. The big difference is the way the electricity is generated.
Because electrons are rubbed off the cloth and build up on the polythene.
Plastic is an insulator where as metal is a good conductor
An insulator Becomes statically charged when rubbed against another insulator
A charged acetate strip would be negatively charged. So, it would acquire positive charge to become neutral.
You can use the electrostatic series to determine charge by looking at the substances higher on the list will always lose electrons and becomes positively charged and the substances lower on the list always gains electrons and becomes negatively charged
When an object is rubbed with a charged rod, the object shares the charge so that both have a charge of the same sign. In contrast, charging by induction gives an object the charge opposite that of the charged rod. so your object would be negatively charged.
