The reason why the pieces of paper are neutral is that they contain equal amount of positive and negative charges and so they cancel each other out.
When you bring a charged plastic comb to the pieces of paper, the charge opposite to that of the plastic comb will be brought to a part of the surface of the paper where the plastic comb is. Opposite charges attract each other, and since you're holding the comb, the pieces of paper will be attracted to the comb.
Yes, this is true because in magnet, there are many small domains which all point the same way... this makes a magnet wot it is. the reason that a papa clip will attract to a magnet is because of all the domains (tiny magnets) inside swerve around when they feel the pulse of the magnets field.. by hazap ........... .......... brap brap!
A sand eraser is a type of eraser that is made up of small granules of sand or other abrasive materials that can be used to remove ink or pencil marks from paper. When rubbed on the paper, the abrasive surface of the eraser helps to physically scrape off the marks, leaving a cleaner surface in its place.

The number of paperclips a bar magnet can pick up will depend on the strength of the magnet and the size of the paperclips. In general, a typical bar magnet can pick up several small paperclips at once.
Thermal paper used in receipt printers may contain small amounts of mercury. This is because mercury is sometimes used in the manufacturing process to enhance the paper's properties for thermal printing. Proper disposal of used thermal paper is important to prevent mercury contamination of the environment.
When an eraser is rubbed with wool, it becomes charged with static electricity. This charge can attract small pieces of paper due to the phenomenon of electrostatic attraction. The rubbing action transfers electrons from the wool to the eraser, giving the eraser a negative charge, which then attracts the positively charged paper bits.
Yes, rubbing a comb on the hair creates static electricity which can attract small bits of paper when they come close. The electric charge on the comb will cause the bits of paper to stick to it momentarily.
no , because it is a temporary .the charge will remain displaced for 1- 3 Min's
On a humid day, the air is more saturated with moisture, making it harder for objects to build up an electrostatic charge, as the moisture helps to dissipate the charge. When a plastic ruler is rubbed with cloth, it gains a negative static charge that allows it to attract small pieces of paper that are neutrally charged. The moisture in the air reduces the effectiveness of the ruler’s static charge, making it more difficult to pick up the paper.
When a pencil is rubbed on paper fiction causes a small amount of the graphite from the core of the pencil to be left on the paper. This leaves a visible mark.
When an eraser is rubbed against paper, the friction between the eraser and the paper causes small particles of the eraser to break off. These particles stick to the paper, leaving a mark and making the eraser appear to shrink in size. This process is known as abrasion.
When a glass rod is rubbed, it acquires a positive static charge. The small bits of paper become negatively charged by induction when the positively charged glass rod is brought nearby. Opposite charges attract, causing the paper bits to be attracted to the rod.
Yes, small pieces of tissue paper would likely stick to a rubbed balloon because the balloon becomes charged with static electricity when rubbed, creating an attractive force between the balloon and the tissue paper. This attraction is due to the transfer of electrons from one surface to another, resulting in static cling between the two materials.
When the plastic rod is rubbed with a cloth, it becomes charged with static electricity. The rod becomes positively charged by stripping electrons from the cloth, making it attractive to the small pieces of paper which are negatively charged. This electrostatic force allows the plastic rod to pick up the small pieces of paper.
when you rub the plastic ruler on e.g. a yellow duster it takes the electrons (which is the negative charge) from the yellow duster and the plastic ruler becomes negatively charged. The paper has both protons and electrons the protons are positively charged. and very much like a magnet the negative is attracted to the positive hence the paper sticks to the ruler Hastings Tarrant
You can rub the plastic rod with a piece of cloth and then try to attract small pieces of paper such as tissue paper or small paper bits. Repeat this process multiple times. If the plastic rod has gained or lost charge, its ability to attract the paper will change, indicating a change in the rod.
Rubbing a straw against your body transfers electrons from your body to the straw, giving the straw a net negative charge due to an excess of electrons. This charge imbalance can cause the straw to attract lightweight objects like small pieces of paper or dust.
