Hair is attracted to a comb because of the buildup of static electricity on the comb and on the hair. This buildup occurs when you pass the comb through the hair, and can be reduced or eliminated by adding a little bit of water to the comb or to the hair. Depending on the material of the comb, either the comb will be positively charged and the hair negatively charged, or it could be the other way around. Since opposing charges attract each each, the hair then is attracted to the comb.
What else can I help you with?
What about the comb?
Combs are used to detangle and style hair by running through it. They come in various sizes, shapes, and materials to suit different hair types and styling needs. Proper care of combs, such as cleaning them regularly, can help maintain healthy hair.
What type of joint movement is used to comb hair?
Flexion and extension of the elbow joint are utilized to comb hair, along with supination and pronation of the forearm. This involves a combination of movements that allow for the arm to move in different directions to effectively comb the hair.
What kind of electricity is in hair when you comb through it?
Static.
What magnetic field is it when your hair sticks to your comb?
static electricity
Is hair and comb an example of electrical energy?
Yes, when combing your hair, static electricity is produced.
True or False .Is your hair attracted to a comb as your hair and comb become oppositely charged?
True. When you comb your hair, the comb becomes charged by friction due to the triboelectric effect. Since hair is also a good candidate for triboelectric charging, it becomes oppositely charged to the comb and is therefore attracted to it.
Why is it difficult to contradict a paper attracted to a comb on a humid day?
This phenomenon is due to the static electricity generated by friction between the comb and hair. The hair becomes charged with the same polarity as the comb, causing them to be attracted to each other. On a humid day, the moisture in the air reduces the buildup of static charge, making it harder to contradict the attraction between the comb and hair.
What would happen if you combed your hair and moved the charged comb close to your hair?
If the comb is charged, it can create static electricity in your hair. This can cause your hair strands to be attracted or repelled from each other, leading to frizz or flyaways.
Why does the comb attract the hair?
When a comb is rubbed against certain materials, such as a piece of fabric or hair, it can transfer electrons from one object to the other. This process creates a static electric charge on both the comb and the hair, causing them to be attracted to each other due to opposite charges.
Why does a comb run through dry hair and attract small pieces of non conductive paper.?
When a comb is run through dry hair, it becomes charged with static electricity due to the friction between the comb and hair. The non conductive paper is attracted to the comb because of this buildup of static electricity, causing the paper bits to stick to the comb.
When a comb rubbed with dry hair why attracts small bits of paper?
when we rub the plastic scale against the hair it loses the electrons and whenever an object loses electrons it becomes positively charged .When this positively charged plastic scale brought nearer to paper pieces induces charge on it and electrons revolving in discrete orbits are attracted and nucleus is pushed back so that repulsion do not take place.
How would you demonstrate static electricity with plastic comb dry hair pieces of paper?
To demonstrate static electricity with a plastic comb and dry hair, first rub the comb against the dry hair to create a static charge. Then, bring the charged comb close to small pieces of paper. The paper bits should be attracted to the comb due to the static charge, showcasing the effects of static electricity.
Why is a rice grain tied to a thread is attracted to a plastic comb?
When a plastic comb is charged by rubbing it against a cloth or hair, it becomes negatively charged. The rice grain acquires a positive charge when it comes into contact with the negatively charged comb. Opposite charges attract each other, causing the rice grain to be attracted to the plastic comb.
How do you comb hair?
run the comb through the hair
What force do you use if you comb your hair?
when you comb your hair the force you use is a pull force.
How does static attract hair?
Static electricity is produced when two materials rub against each other, causing a transfer of electrons. When you run a comb through your hair, it creates friction which can result in the transfer of electrons, leading to a build-up of static charge. This static charge causes individual strands of hair to be attracted to the comb, creating the effect of the hair sticking to the comb.
How do you get a comb out of your hair if it is tangled into it?
If a comb is stuck in your hair, try to cut little bits out of the comb, so it is easier to get the hair out. Get little pieces of hair out of the comb at a time. When the comb is out of your hair, your hair will be a little knotty so brush it out well. If you have detangling spray, spray that on your hair. This will work well.
