What charge occurs when rubbing a balloon with plastic?

When a balloon is rubbed with plastic, electrons transfer from the balloon to the plastic, leaving the balloon with a net positive charge and the plastic with a net negative charge. This is known as triboelectric charging or static electricity.


Which surface friction is the highest carpet plastic wood marble?

carpet has the most fictionThis cannot be answered really. Friction requires 2 surfaces in contact with each other . Rubber on Wood, has a high coefficient of friction, but plastic on wood has a low coefficient of friction. You must state , the make of the material you are going to use to slide over the Carpet, or Plastic, or Wood. Also , different types of carpet or plastic or wood will have very different friction coefficients. Example Nylon carpet is very easy to slide things along, but wool or cotton carpet is a very different story. There are many types of plastic which are rubbery in nature and they offer a lot of frictional resistance.


Why is removing air from balloon easier than removing air from bottle?

Ballons are made of an elastic plastic while a bottle in a harder plastic


Is powder a good lubricant for plastic?

No, powder is not a good lubricant for plastic. It can actually cause abrasion and damage to the plastic surface rather than reducing friction. It is better to use specialized plastic lubricants for optimal results.


Why does plastic water bottles melt when you put hot water in it?

Because the melting point of the plastic used to make the bottle is lower than the temperature of the water that you have put in it. Plastic bottles are 'blow molded'. Basically air is forced inside a small piece of hot plastic and it expands like a balloon, except that this 'balloon' is inside a form or mold in the shape of the bottle. It is cooled and the bottle shape stays. If the softening point of the bottle is lower than the hot liquid poured in, then the plastic 'balloon' wants to shrink again.

What happens when you rub plastic wrap to a balloon?

Rubbing plastic wrap on a balloon creates static electricity. The friction between the materials transfers electrons, causing the balloon to become negatively charged. This can cause the balloon to stick to surfaces or be attracted to other objects.


What happens to a balloon rubbed with plastic wrap and why?

When a balloon is rubbed with plastic wrap, the balloon becomes negatively charged due to the transfer of electrons from the plastic wrap to the balloon. This results in the balloon being attracted to positively charged objects or surfaces, due to the attraction between opposite charges.


How does rubbing make plastic charged?

It creates friction which, in turn, creates static electricity therefore giving the plastic a positive charge.


What charge occurs when rubbing a balloon with plastic?

When a balloon is rubbed with plastic, electrons transfer from the balloon to the plastic, leaving the balloon with a net positive charge and the plastic with a net negative charge. This is known as triboelectric charging or static electricity.


How does rubbing a plastic comb with a duster make it charged?

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.


Does plastic cause static friction?

Depends. If you are talking about a plastic bucket, no. Clothing plastic, yes. baloons, yes.


Can a balloon carry more weight than a plastic bag?

No a balloon carry lighter weight then a plastic bag.


Why do the cloth and plastic rod become charged when rubbing with each other?

When you rub the cloth and plastic rod together, friction causes the transfer of electrons between the two materials. This transfer of electrons leads to one material becoming positively charged (due to losing electrons) and the other becoming negatively charged (due to gaining electrons). This imbalance of charges results in both materials becoming charged.


How will a balloon have electricity an a shirt?

Plastic is a very good insulator. As such, if it come in contacts with another type of material, electrons may be added or removed from the insulator. When an object becomes positively or negatively charged, it may stick to other types of objects through electron interactions.


How do you make a balloon from scratch?

there is no way to make a balloon from scratch, but you could use a subsitute for a balloon insted. maybe a plastic bag?


How bodies get charged?

A body gets charged by the friction of one body rubbing against another. When an object made of a substance like glass, plastic, ebonite, amber nylon, hard rubber etc., is rubber with wool, fur or silk, it acquires an electric charge.
