A sweater will end up with a negative charge when it gains extra electrons, usually through a process called triboelectric charging. This often occurs when the sweater rubs against another material, such as hair or a different fabric, causing electrons to transfer from one surface to another. If the sweater loses fewer electrons than it gains during this interaction, it will accumulate a negative charge.
What else can I help you with?
How is an charge produced in a thunderstorm?
There is a negative and positive charge between the clouds or the sky and the ground. The positive charge is attracted to the negative. So positive begins to charge up before basically attacking the negative which is the ground.
What is caused by a build up of electrons?
a net negative charge
What is the charge of the element gold?
In electrolysis, the charge of gold is taken to be +1
What is the charge on the cloud or shell of the atom?
The charge of an electron cloud is negative. The electron cloud is made up of electrons, and the electrons are negatively charged. The electron cloud will have a negative charge as well.
Do polar compounds have an uneven distribution of electrical charge?
Polar molecules have an even distribution of electrical charges. Water is made up of oxygen and hydrogen. Hydrogen (H) is made up of positive charges and Oxygen (O) is made up of one negative charge.

Why does hair stand on end when touching large charge?
When you touch a large charge, electrons transfer from the charge to your body, creating an opposite charge on you. This causes your hair, which is made up of positively charged strands, to repel each other and stand on end due to the electrostatic force.
When a molecule has a positive end and a negative end it is called?
Molecules that have partially positive and negative regions are called polar molecules. Polarity results from an unequal attraction of electrons between the atoms that make up a molecule. The electrons are more drawn towards atoms with a higher electronegativity, thus making these atoms partially negative.
Describe the charges and types of particles that make up all atoms?
The three particles that make up an atom are:electron,proton and neutron. ELECTRON has a negative charge PROTON has a positive charge and NEUTRON has a neutral charge i.e, it contains an equal number of positive and negative charge
Do have electrons negative charge?
Yes it does. If that isn't enough to blow your mind yet, then consider this:Every electron has exactly the same amount of negative charge.
What causes your hair to stand up after pulling a wool sweater over your head?
When you pull a wool sweater over your head, friction between the sweater and your hair can create static electricity. This static charge causes your hair to stand up as the individual hairs repel each other due to having like charges.
What is caused by a build up of electrons?
a net negative charge
What charges does a polar molecule have on opposite ends?
A polar molecule doesn't necessarily have any overall charge. All polar means is that one part of the molecule has a negative charge and another part of the same molecule has a positive charge. These charges balance. When the charges don't balance and there is a net charge, it is referred to as an ion. An example of a polar molecule is fluoro-methane, or CH3F. The fluorine attracts the electrons in the bond a lot harder than carbon. so the fluorine has a negative charge while the carbon atom ends up with a positive charge.
What do you do when you have a negative number to a negative exponent?
it would be a negative multiplied by a negative and your answer should end up positive.
What is particle with a negative charge?
The electron, muon, and tau leptons and the W- boson have a -1 charge. The down, strange, and bottom quarks have a -1/3 charge.
What are the 3 types of particales that make up atomos?
Proton , which have a positive charge Electron , which have a negative charge Neutron , which have a no charge , neutral
What type of chargesdo the three particles that make up an atom have?
Proton . . . positive charge Electron . . . negative charge Neutron . . . no charge
