What else can I help you with?
Are materials that can be statically charged conductors or insulators?
Materials that can be statically charged can be either conductors or insulators. Conductors allow electricity to flow through them easily, which can lead to static charging under certain conditions. Insulators, on the other hand, do not conduct electricity well and can also become statically charged due to the buildup of excess charge.
What are the differences between charged conductors and insulators?
Insulators block the flow of electricity, and therfore cannot be charged. That is completely wrong. An insulator can be charged. The difference is that the charge carriers in an insulator will be still, and will not respond to each other's fields. This is not true for a conductor, where the coulomb forces between charges will force all charge to the surface of the conductor, as a result of Gauss' law.
Contrast the movement of charge in insulators and conductors during induction when a charged object is brought near them?
In insulators, the movement of charge is minimal because they do not have free electrons available for movement. In conductors, the electrons are free to move, so they redistribute themselves within the material in response to the presence of the charged object. This redistribution of charge in conductors allows them to be influenced by induction more effectively than insulators.
Can an insulator be charged?
Yes, insulators can be charged by gaining or losing electrons, leading to a buildup of static electricity on their surface. However, insulators are less conductive than conductors, so the charge typically remains localized on the surface without flowing easily.
Materials that you can charge up by rubbing are they conductors or insulators?
Materials that can be charged up by rubbing (like wool or plastic) are typically insulators. Insulators do not allow electricity to flow easily, so when they build up a charge through static electricity, it stays localized on the object. Conductors, on the other hand, allow electricity to flow freely through them.
What kind of materials become electrically charged when they are rubbed together?
Insulators

How do charged conductors and insulators differ from each other?
Insulators prevent electricity or energy from going through them. Conductors allow electricity/energy to easily pass through.

Which material get easily charged by rubbing and what such material is called?
An insulator Becomes statically charged when rubbed against another insulator
How is a stactically charged ion formed?
A statically charged ion is formed when there is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material especially relatively non-conductive insulators such as plastics, paper, glass, and ceramics.

Are Crayons insulators or conductors?
insulators
The Electric Field inside and outside a Charged Insulator?
Inside a charged insulator, the electric field is 0, as charges cannot move freely in insulators. Outside the insulator, the electric field behaves as if all the charge is concentrated at the center of the insulator.
How gold leaf electroscope to identify conductors and insulators?
In a gold leaf electroscope, when a charged object is brought close to the electroscope, the gold leaves will either diverge (for conductors) or remain closed (for insulators). Conductors allow charge to flow easily, causing the leaves to repel each other due to the like charges. Insulators do not allow charge to flow, so the leaves do not diverge as there is no movement of charge.
