Where is static electricity used in your everyday life?
Static cling of clothes out of the dryerBalloons sticking to hair and clothesRubbing your feet on a carpet and receiving a shock on a doorknobRecently used comb can attract small bits of paper or lint
Why is damp hair easier to comb?
the hair is wet so the molicules are flatter making it easy to comb. :) trust me i am not a scientist!

Who is Walter Sammons?

Why was the comb invented?
It was invented for detangling hair, and just brushing your hair.
What kind of force can make hair cling to a comb?
electrostatic force
What kind of force can make a small piece of paper cling to a comb?
static electricity? dont really understand what exactly u mean
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
Which type of force acts when tiny bits of paper are pulled by a rubber comb?
The force which acts is the electrostatic force.
When you comb your hair and you put the comb with hair near the small piece of paper?
due to force of attraction b/w opposite charges
What force do you use if you comb your hair?
when you comb your hair the force you use is a pull force.
How does a charged comb affect bits of paper?
The bits of paper acquire opposite charge of the comb and as unlike charge attract the bits of paper are attracted and picked up by the comb
Why doesn't an iron comb attract pieces of paper?
It is only after a build up of static electricity in the iron comb that will cause paper to be attracted to the comb.

When you place a comb in bits of paper it does not stick but if you run the comb through your hair it sticks after combing your hair?
yesYou created a static electrical charge on the comb, causing it to attract the bits of paper.
Why can rubber rubbed with wool attract small bits of paper?
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.
How do you explain why a charged comb often attracts smaller bits of papers that fly away when they touch the comb?
Static electricity in the comb attracted the slightly charged paper to it, but when the paper touched the comb, their very slight charge was neutralized, which caused them to fall off.
