I think you mean 'static electricity', it happens when the two objects exchange electrons, so the object will be charged either positively or negatively.

Does rubbing a polythene rod with a duster take away positive charge from the cloth?

Rubbing a polythene rod with a duster can transfer electrons and create a charge imbalance (like triboelectric charging). If the polythene rod gains electrons during rubbing, it will become negatively charged, meaning the duster could potentially lose positive charge, but the overall charge conservation principle still applies.


How would you use a duster to charge a plastic rod?

To charge a plastic rod using a duster, rub the duster against the plastic rod. The friction between the materials will transfer electrons from the duster to the rod, giving the rod a negative charge.


What charge does a polythene rod acquire when rubbed with a duster?

A polythene rod acquires a negative charge when rubbed with a duster. This is because electrons are transferred from the duster to the polythene rod, leaving the rod with an excess of electrons and a negative charge.


What charge does a acetate rod acquire when rubbed with a duster?

When an acetate rod is rubbed with a duster, it acquires a negative charge. This is because the acetate rod has a higher affinity for electrons compared to the duster, leading to the transfer of electrons from the duster to the acetate rod.


What happens to a perspex rod when it is rubbed by a duster?

Both are originally have equal electrons and protons. After rubbing, electrons move to the duster, from the rod. The duster, as it gains electrons, has more electrons than protons, therefore becoming negatively charged. The rod, losing electrons, becomes negatively charged. then, the rod is able to momentarily pick up little bits of paper for short periods at a time.


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.


Why does a balloon becomes negatively charged when you rub it with a duster?

When you rub the balloon with a duster, electrons are transferred from the duster to the balloon. This excess of electrons on the balloon gives it a negative charge. Electrons are negatively charged particles, so when they are transferred to an object, that object becomes negatively charged.


When a polythene rod is rubbed with a duster it becomes negatively charged . why?

When polythene is rubbed with a duster, electrons from the duster are transferred to the polythene rod, giving the rod an excess of electrons and making it negatively charged. This transfer of electrons creates an imbalance of positive and negative charges on the surfaces, resulting in the rod becoming negatively charged.


Why is a positive charged form when a glass rod and a cotton duster rubbed together?

When a glass rod is rubbed against a cotton duster, electrons are transferred from the glass rod to the duster. This leaves the glass rod with a net positive charge. The process is known as triboelectric charging, where materials gain or lose electrons during friction.
