The copper penny might get cleaner.

If it were a rubber penny, then you would get static electricity.

What happens when you rub a comb in a piece of wood?

Rubbing a comb against a piece of wood can create a static charge on the comb due to friction. The comb may attract small lightweight objects such as paper or hair because of the static electricity generated.


What happens when you rub wool and amber together and why?

Nothing happens. I have amber and wear it with wool and other clothing. At the very most there is friction.

When you rub comb on dry hair why I t attracts small piece of paper?

When you rub a comb on dry hair, it generates static electricity. This static charge causes the comb to attract small pieces of paper because the paper bits become negatively charged, while the positively charged comb attracts them.


If you rub hard rubber with piece of wool what charge is on the piece of rubber?

The hard rubber would acquire a negative charge as electrons move from the wool to the rubber. Wool has a higher tendency to lose electrons, leaving the rubber with an excess of electrons and thus a negative charge.


What happens when rub an ebonite with a wool cloth?

The ebonite rod will gather a static electric charge, as electrons are transferred.


When your rub a glass with a piece of wool. what happen?

Rubbing a glass with a piece of wool creates friction, causing electrons to be transferred between the two materials. The glass becomes negatively charged as it gains electrons, while the wool becomes positively charged as it loses electrons. This phenomenon is known as static electricity.

Static electricity using comb and paper?

static electricity is caused by the attraction or repulsion of electric charges. surfaces have the ability to transfer charges to each other. when you comb your hair that is what happens. your hair gives the comb so electrons so now the comb isnegativley charged. when you put the comb near the paper, all the negative charges in the paper move away and te positive chrages move toward the comb,this makes the paper cling to the comb


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 happens when a cotton shirt and a wool sweater rub together why?

When a cotton shirt and wool sweater rub together, they create friction that can generate static electricity. This can cause the fabrics to stick together or even produce a small spark. The different properties of cotton and wool fibers rubbing together create a charge separation, which results in static electricity.
