How rubbing the balloon on your hair and your hair will stick onto the balloon?
Rubbing a balloon on your hair creates static electricity, which causes your hair to have a positive charge. The balloon, in turn, becomes negatively charged. Opposite charges attract, so the negatively charged balloon will attract the positively charged hair, causing it to stick to the balloon.
How a plastic ruler can become negativiely charged?
Technically, it doesn't. Static electricity is not something some things have or don't have. It is built up by two objects coming in contact with eachother. Some objects are more negative or positive than others, and the more positive items tend to lose their electrons more easily than the negatives, who tend to gain electrons. The gain/loss of electons happens on contact. Rubbing creates more contact, and therefore more gain/loss. The shock comes when a positively charged object touches a grounded item, such as a metal post or a person. Electrons jump to the object through the grounded item from the ground. If said object is a human, (s)he will feel a jolt of electricity, which we call static. Note: I call positive objects positive because they become positive on contact. I use the same reasoning with negative objects.
How are electrically charged particles formed?
The basic charged particles are the proton (positive) and electron (negative). Normally the electrostatic force of attraction keeps them together within atoms and molecules, and in this state they are electrically neutral. Objects become charged when there is an excess or a shortage of electrons, produced for example by rubbing a dry cloth, or by the air currents in a thunder cloud.
What happen if after rubbing the glass rod with cloth and place it near a pieces of paper?
The glass rod will become charged and attract the paper due to static electricity. This is because rubbing the glass rod with cloth transfers electrons, giving the rod a negative charge. The paper, being neutral, will be attracted to the negatively charged rod.
What is the rubbing force that strips electrons or a material and makes it charged?
The rubbing force that strips electrons from a material and makes it charged is known as triboelectric effect. This occurs when two materials are rubbed together, causing a transfer of electrons between the materials due to differences in their electron affinities, leading to one material becoming positively charged and the other becoming negatively charged.
When rubbing two materials together does it knock off positive or negative charges?
Rubbing two materials together can transfer electrons from one material to the other, resulting in one material becoming positively charged and the other becoming negatively charged.
When an acetate strip is charged by a rubbing does it acquire a positive charge or a negative charge?
When an acetate strip is charged by rubbing, it acquires a negative charge. This is because acetate is a type of material that tends to lose electrons easily when rubbed, causing it to become negatively charged.
What are two positive charged objects?
The nucleus of an atom, which contains protons (positively charged particles), and a positively charged metal rod after rubbing it with a cloth.
How rubbing the balloon on your hair and your hair will stick onto the balloon?
Rubbing a balloon on your hair creates static electricity, which causes your hair to have a positive charge. The balloon, in turn, becomes negatively charged. Opposite charges attract, so the negatively charged balloon will attract the positively charged hair, causing it to stick to the balloon.
Why does rubbing a balloon on your sweater allow for the balloon to stick to wall?
Rubbing the balloon on the sweater creates a static charge imbalance on the balloon's surface, making it negatively charged. When brought close to a wall, which is usually neutrally charged, the negative charges on the balloon attract the positive charges in the wall, causing the balloon to stick due to electrostatic forces.
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.
How is it possible for two neutral objects to become charged by rubbing them together?
When two neutral objects are rubbed together, electrons can transfer from one object to the other. This transfer of electrons creates an imbalance of positive and negative charges on the objects, leading to one acquiring a positive charge and the other a negative charge. This is known as triboelectric charging.
What type of charge do you get by rubbing a balloon in your hair?
Rubbing a balloon in your hair can create a static electric charge on the balloon. This charge is usually negative because electrons from your hair are transferred to the balloon, leaving your hair positively charged.
What happens to the object that loses electrons after rubbing 2 objects together?
The object that loses electrons becomes positively charged, as it has more positive protons than negative electrons. This imbalance in charge may cause the object to attract other objects with a negative charge.
Why a balloon now negatively charged?
When you rub a balloon onto your hair or piece of clothing, the balloon collects the electrons (negative charge) from the hair or clothing you rubbed it on. The balloon now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge) making it have a negative charge. The hair or clothing has more protons than electrons making it have a positive charge.
How Static electricity can be induced by rubbing together two?
When two objects are rubbed together, electrons can be transferred from one object to the other, creating an imbalance of positive and negative charges. This imbalance results in one object becoming positively charged and the other negatively charged, leading to the phenomenon of static electricity.
How does an object get a positive or a negative charge?
An object gives up one or more protons to get a positively charged objects and absorbs one or more electrons to get a negatively charged objects. This happens when two objects are rubbed together (ex. when you rub your feet on the carpet to give some one a shock;rubbing balloon on one's hair)
