Clothing that becomes charged in the dryer loses its charge primarily through the process of grounding and contact with other materials. As the clothes tumble, they may touch the metal components of the dryer or each other, allowing electrons to transfer and neutralize the static charge. Additionally, increased humidity can help dissipate static electricity, as moisture in the air provides a pathway for electrical charges to escape.

What are three examples of situations where electrostatic forces can be observed?
Rubbing a balloon on hair and seeing it stick to a wall, as the balloon picks up excess electrons and becomes negatively charged. Lightning during a thunderstorm, where there is a discharge of built-up electric charge between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. Static electricity causing clothes to cling together in a dryer, due to the transfer of electrons between the fabric.
Can a dryer cause a phase change?
No, a dryer cannot cause a phase change. A dryer operates by using heat and airflow to evaporate moisture from clothing, but it does not have the ability to induce a phase change such as solid to liquid or liquid to gas.
Why when I dry flat clothing are the items very stiff compared to items dried in the dryer?
When you air dry clothing flat, they don't go through the tumbling and heat process that helps to soften fibers in a dryer. As a result, the lack of movement and heat from the dryer can leave items feeling stiffer. You can try adding in a softening agent like a fabric conditioner or vinegar to your rinse cycle when hand washing to help soften the clothing.
Is a blow dryer a part of static electricity?
No, a blow dryer does not produce static electricity. Static electricity is generated when two objects rub against each other, creating a charge imbalance. A blow dryer simply dries hair using heated air.
The current in an electric hair dryer is 12 A How much charge and how many electrons flow through the hair dryer in 5 Min?
To find the charge that flows through the hair dryer, multiply the current (12 A) by the time (5 min converted to seconds, so 300 s): Q = I * t. Substituting the values, Q = 12 A * 300 s = 3600 C. To find the number of electrons, use the fact that 1 electron carries a charge of approximately 1.6 x 10^-19 C. Divide the total charge by the charge of one electron: 3600 C / 1.6 x 10^-19 C ≈ 2.25 x 10^19 electrons.
Laundry clothes dryer often becomes charged either static electricity while frying what explain why a cloth dryer often generate static electricity?
A cloth dryer generates static electricity because different fabrics rubbing against each other create friction. This friction transfers electrons between the clothing, causing them to become positively or negatively charged. When the clothes rub against the dryer drum, this can lead to a buildup of static electricity.
When clothes are removed from the hot dryer they often cling together but when two identical articles of clothing such as two matched socks are taken out they usually repel one another explain?
Items of clothing placed in a dryer by themselves build up either a negative charge or a positive charge depending on the material of which they are made. Or not charge at all in some cases. A pair of socks, being made of the same material, will build up a charge of the same polarity (either both positive or both negative) and will therefore repel each other. Incidentally, the clothes become charged when they rub together. Electrons 'rub off' some of the clothes, so that they become positively charged, onto other clothes, so that they become negatively charged. If you have ever stroked a cat and then got a slight shock it's the same effect.
What are gelatin mountains?
static electricity, which is what makes your socks stick to your clothes in the dryer, can be a powereful force. When you rub a piece of wool on a latex balloon, the balloon becomes charged with static electricity. If you hold the balloon near a pile of unflaverd gelitin, the gelitin becomes charged as well, but with the opposite charge. Things that have opposite charges attract, so the geletin starts to creep twords the balloon, trying to make contact
The wetter you became the dryer you are what are you?
The answer is a towel. The wetter it becomes the dryer you are.
Does a dryer sterilize clothing?
No, it doesn't.
The force of what causes static cling in a dryer?
The force of static electricity is what causes static cling in a dryer. As clothes tumble in the dryer, friction between different fabrics generates an imbalance of electric charge, leading to the attraction between clothing fibers that results in static cling.
How do you make clothing bigger after being in the dryer?
you're stuck with the small clothing.
How do you clean a tumble dryer condenser box?
The Kenmore Gas Dryer will not heat and dry clothing.
Why do clothes in the dryer get static cling?
Static cling is a phenomenon caused by static electricity. When dry materials rub against each other, they can exchange electrons, creating an electrical charge. This charge can build up in the form of static electricity and cause two objects, typically clothing, to stick or hold together.
What are three examples of situations where electrostatic forces can be observed?

Does sperm or semen die in a tumble dryer if it happens to be on any clothing in there?
Forget the tumble dryer, sperm dies on clothes. Assuming you washed the clothes prior to putting them in the tumble dryer, if any sperm were left on the clothing (and survived the heat from the dryer) they die after 72 hrs anyway! Hope this helps. xx
What is static electricity caused by?
socks taken from a clothes dryer stick together
