Why is it difficult to put a charge on a metal rob by rubbing it with wool?

Since metal is a conductor the electrons easily transfer throughout the entire object therefore the temporary charge put on one part by the wool will discharge by traveling through the rod to your hand, thus grounding it.

When rubbing a wool sock on a glass rod what transfers to the sock?
The described action will leave the wool sock positively charged, as electrons will be transferred to the glass rod.
What is the best way to remove rust from steel?
Steel wool works really well.
What are different types of materials that are compounds?
there are steel,metal,fabric,rubber,paper,wood,nylon,wool,ceramics,iron,cotton,glass and plastic
What types of metal are suscepitible to corrosion?
mostly substance that react more with oxygen and hydrogen are suceptible to get corroded
What is artificial wool?
Artificial wool is 'wool' made from other than animal fleece.
What happens when a hard rubber ball is rubbed by wool?
Rubbing wool on the ball transfers electrons (negatively charged) from the wool to the ball. The excess charge builds up and produces static electricity.
When a rubber rod is rubbed with wool the rod becomes negatively charged. what can you conclude about the magnitude of the wool's charge after the rubbing process?
Equal amount of positive charge in the woolReason: Just before rubbing both rod and wool are neutral. Now as we rub the rod with wool then loosely bound electrons get migrated right from wool to the rod. So rod gets excess electrons and balance between equal positive and negative goes off. So it gets negatively charged. If so then wool as it has lost electrons right from balancing it has to be positively charged

Will rubbing alcohol kill wool eating moths?
Yes, rubbing alcohol is toxic to most insects. In the right concentration, rubbing alcohol will kill a wool eating moth.

What happens to the steel wool when the power supply is switched on?
Sending a small electrical charge through a pad of steel wool, will cause the metal to glow and burst into flames.
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)
What will happen to the balloon when you put it against the wall after rubbing it with a wool cloth?
The balloon should have a small static electric charge which is enough to make it stick to the wall for a short time.
In order to build up a charge does a material need to be a conductor or an insulator?
no....absolutely not...to acquire charge, either the material(atoms to be specific) must lose some electrons or gain some....eg. rubbing a glass rod and wool
What is the type of electricity produced by rubbing plastic on wool?
Static electricity.It is electricity at rest. It is produced by friction, by rubbing.
What is the charge of wool rubbed with a comb?
The wool would have a positive charge, while the comb is negative. This is because the comb will take excess electrons from the wool.
How do you create static electricity with wool and styrofoam?
You can make some static electricity by rubbing wool or styrofoam against your head
