How do you describe an object that gains excess electrons after being rubbed against another object?

The object is described as negatively charged or having acquired a negative charge. This occurs because it gains excess electrons when rubbed against another object, causing it to have an imbalance of negative charges.


What object can best be used as friction?

your hands or two rocks rubbed together


Which one will get more electrons when two objects are rubbed together?

The object with a higher electron affinity will tend to gain more electrons when rubbed together with another object. This is because it has a greater ability to attract and hold onto electrons from the other object, resulting in a net transfer of electrons from one object to the other.


What happens when a plastic rod is rubbed with wool?

When a metal rod is rubbed with wool, it gets energized because the metal rod and wool both have opposite effects.


Why does a rubbed plastic object stay charged but a rubbed metal object lose its charge?

Rubbed plastic objects tend to hold onto their charge because they are insulators, meaning that they do not easily allow charge to flow. Rubbed metal objects, on the other hand, are conductors and can easily lose their charge as the electrons can move freely within the material and dissipate.


Do electrons move from one object to another when rubbed togethor?

Yes, when two objects are rubbed together, electrons can move from one object to the other. This transfer of electrons can result in one object becoming positively charged and the other becoming negatively charged, leading to an electrostatic attraction between them.


When two objects are rubbed together what moves from object to another?

When two objects are rubbed together, electrons can move from one object to another, causing a transfer of electric charge. This transfer of electrons is what can create a build-up of static electricity on the objects.


What is percusision instrument?

A percussion instrument is any object which produces a sound when struck with another object, or produces a sound when shaken, rubbed, or scraped.


What is the difference between the charges on a balloon rubbed in your hair and a glass rod rubbed with silk why?

There is a very big difference between the electrical charge of a balloon rubbed in a person's hair and a glass rod rubbed with silk. The charge from the balloon will just make it stick to objects. The charge from the glass rod will emit a very large electrical shock that might knock a person to the ground. This is because the glass rod is a better conductor of electricity than the balloon.


Which of these move from one object to another when two objects are rubbed together?

Electrons move from one object to another when two objects are rubbed together, causing a transfer of charge. This transfer can result in one object becoming positively charged (loss of electrons) and the other becoming negatively charged (gain of electrons).


What type of charge transfer occurs when two objects are rubbed together?

When two objects are rubbed together, electrons can move from one object to another, causing a transfer of charge. This can result in one object becoming positively charged and the other becoming negatively charged.


Why does a smooth object glide when rubbed over a smooth surface?

Because if there are no rough edges then there is less resistance.
