What is the machine when your hair stand on end's?
a van de graff generator
Why does the Van der Graaf generator work better on dry days?
The electrons like (are attracted) to water. That's why you put water on your hair when it is full of static (electrons). They jump onto the water. So on humid days the electrons are on the water molecules, on dry days the belt in the Van der Graaf can gather the electrons and deposit them.
How can static electricity generate an electrical force to make your hair stand on end?
Static Electricity generator an electrical force can make your hair stand on end that happens because, your hair has picked up extra electrons. This causes your hair to repel against each other(Like charges repel remember!). Because you hair is so tightly packed, the furthest any hair can get from another hair is to stand straight up.
Why do you have to stand on a mat when touching a charged van der graaf generator?
The mat acts as an insulator. If the mat was not there then the electricity flowing into you will go right into the ground, therefore having no effect to you. Since you are standing on the mat, less electricity goes through the ground, and the electricity gets trapped on you and your hair starts flying due to the repelling forces of same charges.
Why does your hair stand up when touching a charged Van de Graaff generator?
The large-radius sphere of a Van de Graff generator holds considerable charge before arc discharge occurs. The Van de Graff generator gathers negative charges and it is released into your body when you touch the sphere. We all know that negatives repel each other so since your hair is charged with negative electrons, they break away from each other (not lie flat on your head) in an effort to repel.

What are facts about the Van de Graaff generator?
They are used to make peoples hair stand up on their head.

Will a 500 watt generator run a hair dryer?
Most hair dryers are rated at least 800 watts to as much as 1875 watts. Given that, a 500 watt generator will NOT run a hair dryer. You would need at least a 2000 watt generator, just be be on the safe side.
How do John and Edward get their hair to stand up?
They get their hair to stand up by the cunning application of hair gel.

Why does a balloon rubbed in your hair make your hair stand up?
The friction between your hair and the balloon cause static electricity causing your hair to stand up.
What apparatus found in science labs can cause your hair to stand on end?
The effect can be caused by a Van de Graaff generator which causes static electricity to build up to enormous voltages. They are demonstrated a many science museums.
How do you make your hair stand up?
You cover your hair in hair gel then you comb it up
Does hair stand in fear?
Some hairs do stand up from fear. An example is the 'hackles' that stand the hair erect on the back of dogs and other animals when they are ready to fight. When the skin tightens during an adrenalin rush, the hair appears to stand up at the roots, but this is hardly noticeable with the soft hair of most humans.
