When a polythene rod is rubbed with a duster it becomes negatively charged . why?
Because electrons are rubbed off the cloth and build up on the polythene.
A balloon becomes negatively charged when rubbed against someone's sleevehow does it becomes charged?
Friction from rubbing the balloon on a sleeve creates static electricy,therefore the balloon becomes negatively charged.
What happens when a steel spoon is rubbed with a polythene?
pieces of paper do not get attract therefore it not charged
Can a negative charged object attract other negative charged objects?
objects can be negatively charged when it is rubbed with another object; a woolen cloth for example. this is because the electrons from the woolen cloth will be transferred to the object which is being rubbed! only electrons can be transferred to the object and make the object becomes negatively charged.
How does a object become negatively charged?
if some of the positive charges have been either chemically removed or bonded together, that is how they become negatively charged...................... xoxo

What happens when a polythene strip is rubbed on a woolen cloth and then placed near a thin stream of running water from a tap?
The polythene becomes negatively charged.

How to charge an object by friction?
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.
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.
When objects gain or lose electrons they become static electricity?
For example as glass rob is rubbed with silk then glass becomes positively charged and silk negatively charged. This is mainly because of the transfer of electrons right from glass to silk. But in case of ebonite rod rubbed with fur electrons get transferred from fur to ebonite. So ebonite becomes negatively charged and fur positive charged Now in case of an atom or molecule one or more electrons get removed and so that atom or molecules become a positive ion. Same way as electron gets attached with a neutral atom then it becomes negative ion.
1 How do you know that two substances get different charges when they are rubbed together?
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
If electrons are rubbed from cat's fur onto a rubber rod does the cats fur become positively or negatively charged?
Positively charged,because electrons are negatively charged and when you remove them only protons remain and those are positively charged,what makes the fur positively charged as well.
When an acetate strip is charged by a rubbing does it acquire a positive charge or a negative charge?
A charged acetate strip would be negatively charged. So, it would acquire positive charge to become neutral.
