What else can I help you with?
When your wool socks are sticking to a silk shirt what is the electric charge on the socks?
The wool socks likely have a negative charge, as they are pulling the silk shirt (which may have a positive charge) towards them due to electrostatic attraction.
When a plastic rod is rubbed with wool the wool acquires positive charge because?
When a plastic rod is rubbed with wool, electrons are transferred from the wool to the plastic rod. This leaves the wool with a net positive charge due to the loss of electrons, while the plastic rod acquires a net negative charge due to gaining these electrons.
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.
When a silk blouse and wool socks are put into the dryer what charge will appear on the blouse when rubbed with the socks?
The silk blouse will acquire a positive charge when rubbed with the wool socks due to the triboelectric effect. Wool has a tendency to lose electrons when rubbed against other materials, transferring a positive charge to the silk blouse.
How can you explain the presence of a charge on the rubber rod after it has been rubbed with wool?
When the rubber rod is rubbed with wool, electrons are transferred from the wool to the rubber, leaving the rubber with a net positive charge. This occurs because the rubber has a higher affinity for electrons compared to wool. The excess electrons on the rubber rod result in a net negative charge, as the positive charge was neutralized by the transfer of electrons.
What particles has a negative charge and which has a positive charge?
Negative charge = electron Positive charge = positron Positive charge = proton
What charge electron charge positive or negative?
Electrons carry a negative charge to balance out the positive charge of the proton.
Does all matter have a negative or positive charge?
No, not all matter has a negative or positive charge. Matter can be neutral, meaning it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, such as in most atoms. Charged particles exist in matter, such as electrons with a negative charge and protons with a positive charge.
What is the difference between a negative and a positive?
positive ions carry positive charge and negative ions carry negative charge
Is an atom a negative charge or a positive charge?
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
Is b a negative or positive charge?
A positive charge
When a proton is positive an electron is?
Negative. Protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge.
