Ebonite is a poor conductor of electricity, it is an insulator. Electrons cannot move easily within it, but can it form and hold a static charge.

Is ebonite rod conductor?

No, ebonite is an insulator, not a conductor of electricity. Ebonite is a type of hard, non-conductive material that is often used in applications where insulation is needed, such as in electrical insulators and other protective equipment.


How can a conductor be made to hold its charge?

It is not possible to make a ordinary conductor hold it's charge permanently.But you can make a ordinary conductor(e.g.,)a wire to hold charge for a short period.This is because a charge stored in a conductor leaks to the surroundings due to ionisation of air. But it is possible to charge a conductor like a copper sphere. for this the copper sphere is first connected to ground and a negatively charged ebonite rod near it.the copper sphere becomes positive as the negative charges in it flow to the ground.the sphere is disconnected from ground and the ebonite rod is taken away.now the copper sphere holds positive charge. note: it is easy to charge an ebonite rod by rubbing it with fur.

Does Ebonite rust?

no because Ebonite is rubber. Rubber doesnt rust.


What happens when you rub ebonite against fur?

Rubbing ebonite against fur can create a static charge on the ebonite due to the transfer of electrons between the two materials. This can lead to the ebonite gaining a negative charge and the fur gaining a positive charge.

What is the density of ebonite?

The density of ebonite ranges from 1.1 to 1.3 g/cm^3, depending on its composition and manufacturing process.


Is ebonite charged?

Ebonite is a type of hard rubber that does not conduct electricity, so it cannot hold an electrical charge. You can use ebonite to insulate materials from electricity due to its non-conductive properties.


What charge develop in ebonite rod when rubbed with silk?

When an ebonite rod is rubbed with silk, it acquires a negative charge. This occurs because electrons are transferred from the silk to the ebonite, resulting in an excess of electrons on the ebonite surface. Consequently, the ebonite rod becomes negatively charged, while the silk loses electrons and becomes positively charged.

Can charge flow through ebonite rod?

No, ebonite is an insulator. Charges can reside on the surface but not flow through


Which charge does ebonite rod acquire when rubbed with woollen cloth?

The ebonite rod acquires a negative charge when rubbed with woolen cloth because electrons are transferred from the woolen cloth to the ebonite rod.
