What charge does a acetate rod acquire when rubbed with a duster?

When an acetate rod is rubbed with a duster, it acquires a negative charge. This is because the acetate rod has a higher affinity for electrons compared to the duster, leading to the transfer of electrons from the duster to the acetate rod.


What a lightning rod?

A lightning rod is a metal rod or conductor mounted on a building or structure to protect it from lightning strikes. The rod helps to safely conduct the electrical charge from a lightning strike to the ground, reducing the risk of fire or other damage to the building.


Why copper rod is covered with insulating material in Searle's apparatus?

Copper rod is covered by insulating materials, because copper is good conductor of electricity when we touch copper rod we get shock and insulators are bad conductor of electricity hence copper rod is covered by insulating materials


How does the liquidator mosquito repellent work as the refill bottle has a graphite rod at the center and the bottle is filled up with a liquid?

The Liquidator mosquito repellent has a graphite rod in the middle and the bottle is filled with the repellent. The repellent consist of the chemical which when come in the contact of the heated rod produce fumes which disable the sensors of the mosquitos. Actually Mosquito's has sensors which enables them to detect the humans or any other animal by the oudor,heat released by the body,movement of the animal and there is one more thing the carbon dioxide exhale by the humans and the other animals.The fumes produced by the lepellent block these sensors and that is why we can see the mosquitos flying in the room but they can't bite you.

What is carbon rod connected to the negative terminal of the battery?

The negative terminal of a carbon/zinc cell is connected to the zinc cup that functions as the cathode. The carbon rod is the anode (positive).


Is a carbon rod an insulator?

A carbon rod may be an insulator or a conductor. It depends on which allotrope of carbon we're talking about. Electricity can travel through a graphite (carbon) rod easily, but it cannot travel through a diamond rod. Both graphite and diamond are carbon, but the former is a conductor while the latter is an insulator.


Which is the strongest material for a fishing rod - is it glass fiber or carbon?

It's carbon


Is a carbon rod a conductor or insulator?

As regards electrical conduction, if the carbon rod is graphite, it's a conductor. If the carbon rod is diamond, it's an insulator. We have to specify the allotrope of carbon used to make the rod to discover whether it's an insulator or conductor.


How much carbon in wire rod?

The carbon content in wire rod typically ranges from 0.05% to 0.25% depending on the specific grade and intended use of the wire. This carbon content helps to impart strength and durability to the wire rod for various applications such as construction, automotive, and industrial uses. Please refer to the specific product data sheet for the exact carbon content of a particular wire rod.
