Why does a charged glass rod attract charged plastic straw?
it is becuase when a glas rod charged by rubbing a cloth it aquires positive charge and when a plastic straw is charged by rubbing a cloth it aquires negative charge. Therefore a charged glass rod attracts a charged plastic rod.
When you rub a ruler with a cloth why does it become charged?
it generates magnetic field and thus get charged
If you rub a polythene rod with a cloth will it become magnetic?
No, it will not become magnetic. It will become electrically charged.
Will rubbing a glass rod with a wool cloth create static electricity?
Yes it does when you rub the glass rod against the wool cloth the rod becomes negatively charged...therefore attracting the wool cloth
If you wipe a record with a cloth why does it attract dust?
By rubbing some of the electrons right from cloth will be transferred to the record leaving cloth positively charged and record negatively. Hence the dust particles coming near the record gets ionized and get attracted towards it

What happens when you rub an acetate strip with tissue paper and then hold the strip near running water?
If you rub an acetate rod with a cloth electrons are transferred from the rod to the cloth and the rod becomes negatively charged and the cloth becomes positively charged.

What happens when you rub vinyl with wool cloth?
You build a charge when rubbing vinyl with a wool cloth. The wool cloth is very weak in holding electrons so when you rub it with the ebonite rod the electrons transfer onto the rod. The rod is negatively charged (assuming that the rod was neutrally charged). The wool becomes positively charged (assuming that the wool was neutrally charged)
A plastic rod is rubbed with a dry cloth how does the rod become negatively charged?
This happens because the negative electrons on the duster move to the polythene rod. Despite this, the rod still has some positive electrons meaning it should be called an unbalanced negatively charged rod. Hope this helps XD
How do you clean an IBM thinkpad screen?
A small damp cloth with Rubbing Alcohol. Not a lot of rubbing alcohol, just enough to dampen the cloth.
Will rubbing a silk cloth on glass cause electrons to move to the cloth?
Yes, rubbing a silk cloth on glass cause electrons to move to the cloth. As a result, glass rod acquires positive charge and silk acquires negative charge.
