Metal is a conductor ... the static electricity trick that you're thinking about works because once you rub off a few electrons they're stuck there - IF everything is insulated.
the hair is wet so the molicules are flatter making it easy to comb. :) trust me i am not a scientist!
yes
That is the static charge, which make a paper clip cling to a comb.
Walter Sammons is the African American man who invented the hot comb.
It was invented for detangling hair, and just brushing your hair.
Rubbing a plastic comb with a duster transfers electrons from the duster to the comb due to friction. This process leaves the comb with extra negative charge, making it negatively charged.
Yes, rubbing a plastic comb against certain materials, such as wool or fur, can create a static charge. This occurs as electrons are transferred between the comb and the material, resulting in the comb becoming charged.
Rubbing a comb creates static electricity, which can attract small objects such as water droplets. When the charged comb is placed near flowing water, the static electricity can pull the water stream towards the comb due to the attractive force between the charged comb and the polar water molecules.
The small piece of paper sticks to the charged comb because of static electricity. When the comb gets charged by rubbing it against a material like fabric or fur, it gains excess electrons which create a negative charge. The negative charge on the comb attracts the positively charged protons in the paper, causing the paper to stick to the comb.
Rubbing a plastic comb with a cloth to create opposite charges on the comb's surface is an example of charging by polarization. Similarly, charging a metal sphere by touching it with a charged rod can polarize the charges on the sphere.
When a comb is charged by rubbing it against a material like wool, it becomes charged with either positive or negative charges. These excess charges on the comb create an electric field around it. When the charged comb is brought close to a neutral object, the charges on the comb repel or attract charges within the object, causing a redistribution of charges and inducing a charge on the object.
When a plastic comb is charged by rubbing it against a cloth or hair, it becomes negatively charged. The rice grain acquires a positive charge when it comes into contact with the negatively charged comb. Opposite charges attract each other, causing the rice grain to be attracted to the plastic comb.
induction. The negative charge on the object will repel the electrons in the metal comb, causing them to move away. This will leave the comb with a positive charge.
Metal is a good conductor of electricity, so any charge generated from rubbing the comb with hair will quickly dissipate through the metal. The electrons are free to move within the metal, equalizing any charge imbalance.
Static electricity produced by rubbing the comb on dry hair creates a charge imbalance that attracts the water molecules in the stream of water. The water molecules are polar, so they are attracted to the charged comb and will align themselves with the electrostatic field, causing the water stream to bend towards the charged comb.
Rubbing a comb on a jumper creates static electricity which can attract the lightweight tissue paper pieces to the comb. The positively charged comb attracts the negatively charged tissue paper, causing the pieces to stick to the comb due to the imbalance of charges.
Static electricity is the force that can make a paper clip cling to a comb. When the comb is charged by rubbing it against hair or clothing, it can attract the neutral paper clip due to the difference in charges between the comb and the paper clip.
