Why can't you charge metals by rubbing?
Because the metal is conductive, therefore its surface is incapable of holding a static charge.
Does a charge move easier through metal or air?
Air
Why does metal not go in a microwave?
Because the metal causes the microwaves to arch, which can create a dangerous build up of electrical charge that can cause the metal to explode.
Can a metal sphere of radius 1cm hold a charge of 1coulomb?
A metal sphere of radius 1 centimeter will not hold a charge of 1 coulomb. The electric field generated from the metal sphere of radiusÊat 1 centimeter will break down and neutralize any charges.
Will a solid metal sphere hold greater charge then a hollow sphere of the same diameter where does the charge reside in each case?
both will have same charge, in both caes charge will reside on surface.
When an object is charged by rubbing how to identify whether the charge of the object is positive or negative?
by its properties.i.e whether a metal or any insulator
Amber was used by the greeks to study what?
The Greeks used the amber to study the concept of magnetism for the first time . They observed that it acquires a strange property of attracting tiny bits of papers,metal pieces etc. when rubbed with a piece of wool .this strange characteristic of it made the further discoveries possible.+++That's not magnetism but static electricity, the charge being developed by rubbing the amber with the dry cloth. Amber is non-magnetic.
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 naming an ion of a transition metal that can have more then one possible ionic charge the numerical value of the charge is indicated by a?
roman numeral
What kinds of goods are produced by India's cottage industries?
cotton cloth, silk cloth, rugs, leather products, and metal ware.
Is cloth is a non metal?
yes it is
What is the name for Skilled workers who made metal objects cloth or pottery?
Metal = Smith Cloth = Tailor, Seamstress, Weaver Pottery = Potters
Do metal ions have a positive charge?
On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.
What happens when you rub ebonite silk with a wool cloth?
You build a charge 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 negativly charged (assuming that the rod was neutrally charged). The wool becomes positivly charged (assuming that the wool was neutrally charged)
Which metal serves the best conductor of electric charge?
the metal that serves as the best conductor of electric charge is the METAL
Is it possible to charge an electrical insulator?
hmm yes because they can also conduct electricity.
What materials are used in naruto headbands?
cloth and metal
