However, an event yesterday proved to me that at least some kinds do. My mini-fridge was broken so I decided to take it apart and look at all the pieces. I took off the plastic switch that the door hits to trigger the light to go on and off. On the backside of this switch, there were two short metal prongs that moderately resembled a plug. Thinking that plastic does not conduct electricity, I stuck it in the socket to see what would happen. There was a bang and the switch flew away from the wall, with both of its prongs melted halfway off! One revealed a gold color on it's inside and the other a copper color. Then I realized that my whole left arm felt buzzy, and it did so for a while. So yes, I got shocked through plastic!
What else can I help you with?
When a plastic rod is rubbed with wool the wool acquires positive charge because?
When a plastic rod is rubbed with wool, electrons are transferred from the wool to the plastic rod. This leaves the wool with a net positive charge due to the loss of electrons, while the plastic rod acquires a net negative charge due to gaining these electrons.
Is plastic comb a conductor?
No, plastic is an insulator and does not conduct electricity. Plastic combs are made from non-metallic materials that do not allow the flow of electrons.
Why does rubbing wool against plastic create static electricity?
Rubbing wool against plastic doesn't actually "create" static electricity. However, rubbing wool and plastic together does increase the surface area of the two materials that are coming into contact. When this happens electrons are exchanged between the two surfaces creating an imbalance. It is this imbalance of electrons that we see as static electricity.
When a plastic rod is rubbed with a cloth the plastic rod gains what?
When a plastic rod is rubbed with a cloth, the plastic rod gains a static electric charge. This charge is due to the transfer of electrons between the rod and the cloth, creating an imbalance of positive and negative charges on the rod's surface.
When a plastic rod is rubbed with a woolen cloth what happens?
When a plastic rod is rubbed with a woolen cloth, electrons are transferred from the wool to the plastic due to the friction between the two materials. This transfer of electrons creates a static charge on the plastic rod, giving it a negative charge and the wool a positive charge.
Does plastic contain carbon?
No, The plastic do not contain carbon.
Noble gas contain electrons?
All noble gasses contain electrons. In fact, all gasses contain electrons.
What do electrons mostly contain?
Electrons contain or maintain or have or are a negative charge. They do not contain anything physical that you can take out.
How many electrons does promethium contain?
The neutral atom of promethium contain 61 electrons.
What is the maximum number of electrons a p subshell can contain?
A p subshell can contain a maximum of 6 electrons.
Which sub levels contain valence electrons in the atom of argon?
Argon does not contain valence electrons.
Does a plastic contain air?
No.
Do nuclides contain electrons?

What does the nucleus not contain?
electrons
How many electrons can the inner shell of an atom contain?
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
Examples of bad conductor of heat?
Most things are not conductors of heat, or electricity. This means that the substances contain a large number of free electrons. Some of these are water, plastic, rubber, glass, lead, and wood.
What does the nuclease of an atom not contain?
the nucleus does not contain electrons of the atom.
