Will rubbing a silk cloth on glass cause electrons to move to the cloth?

Yes, rubbing a silk cloth on glass cause electrons to move to the cloth. As a result, glass rod acquires positive charge and silk acquires negative charge.


What kind of charge is produced in silk cloth when it is rubbed against a glass rod?

When silk cloth is rubbed against a glass rod, the silk cloth becomes positively charged as it loses electrons to the glass rod, which becomes negatively charged. This is due to the transfer of electrons from one material to the other during the rubbing process.


If rubber is a good insulator why do balloons attract static electricity?

Insulators can easily have static electricity. In case of conductors we have to follow some delicate procedure to store charges on it. Usually that is known to be electrostatic induction. But in case of insulators just rubbing would do to produce static electricity. Example: when a glass rod is rubbed against a silk cloth, then glass lose electrons to the silk and so glass becomes positively charged and silk negatively charged. So balloons being a bad conductor is good example to have static electricity. If it is good conductor then charges would flow through them easily and so not possible to produce static electricity just by rubbing.


What charge do you get if glass is rubbed with silk?

the silk will rub of the electrons on the silk, leaving the glass positively charged


What material stops people from getting shocked?

Insulators are materials opposite of conductors. The atoms are not easily freed and are stable, preventing or blocking the flow of electricity.Some examples of insulators are: glass, porcelain, plastic, and rubber.


How you could use a piece of silk and glass rod to attract a stream of tap water?

What is more Smooth silk or glass?

I'm guessing silk because glass is a solid and doesn't "flow" like silk does.


When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth the charge produced in the glass rod is?

When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, the glass rod becomes positively charged. This is because electrons are transferred from the glass to the silk, leaving the glass with an excess of positive charge.


When rubbed against a silk cloth a glass rod loses electrons. How does this affect the charges of the glass rod and the silk cloth?

When a glass rod is rubbed against a silk cloth, the glass rod becomes positively charged because it loses electrons to the silk cloth. The silk cloth becomes negatively charged because it gains those electrons from the glass rod. This transfer of electrons results in the glass rod and silk cloth having opposite charges.


What is the differencein the charges on a balloon rubbed in your hair and a glass rod rubbed with silk?

A balloon rubbed in hair becomes negatively charged due to gaining excess electrons from the hair. On the other hand, a glass rod rubbed with silk becomes positively charged as it loses electrons to the silk.


When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth which substance looses electron?

The glass rod loses electrons when rubbed with a silk cloth. This leaves the glass rod positively charged as it loses negative electrons to the silk cloth through friction.


What is the glass transition temperature of silk?

The glass temperature transition is for glass, polymers, etc. (amorphous or semicrystalline materials), but not for leather.
