When a comb rubbed with dry hair why attracts small bits of paper?

when we rub the plastic scale against the hair it loses the electrons and whenever an object loses electrons it becomes positively charged .When this positively charged plastic scale brought nearer to paper pieces induces charge on it and electrons revolving in discrete orbits are attracted and nucleus is pushed back so that repulsion do not take place.


How does a charged comb affect bits of paper?

The bits of paper acquire opposite charge of the comb and as unlike charge attract the bits of paper are attracted and picked up by the comb


Is paper envelope a conductor or insulator?

the paper may a certain amount of electricity to flow, depending on the mositure contained within the paper, or whether the paper is wet, or even depending how think the paper is; in which case the voltage charge may travel across the paper.


Is plastic ruler gets attracted towards pieces of paper when rubbed with oily hair?

when rubbed with hair, ruler acquires some charge due to static electricity...becomes charged body and attracts tiny pieces of paper towards it.


An electrified rod attracts the pieces of paper after a while these pieces fly away explain why?

The electrified rod has more electrons when we took this rod near to the piece of paper which is neutral the charge from the rod shifts to the paper after the transfer of charge the paper gets charged and now both have an equal number of electrons. Now, these electrons exert a repulsive force on each other. That’s why after a while paper pieces fly away. A strong electric field source, such as charged rod, brought near a neutral piece of paper, will induce a dipole in the paper- assuming the rod is negatively charged, electrons will be pushed away from it, making the near side of the paper more positive and far side more negative. The polarized paper is then attracted to the rod because the excess positive charges on the near side, due to their proximity to the rod, experience a stronger attractive force than the repulsive force applied to the excess negative charges on the far side. Once in contact with the rod, however, charges can flow between it and the paper. This will eventually neutralized the excess charge on the paper's near side, leaving the piece with a net charge of its own (because, remember, the excess charge on the far side is still there), which will then repel the rod, making the paper fly away.

What happens when you rub an acetate strip with tissue paper and then hold the strip near running water?

If you rub an acetate rod with a cloth electrons are transferred from the rod to the cloth and the rod becomes negatively charged and the cloth becomes positively charged.

Why is acetate paper see through?

Cuz the japanese are so poor all they could use was paper even as walls in their buildings. So they use acetate paper for windows. Then shower curtains. Then clothes... Etc. Im not joking


Which makes the lead acetate paper black?

The H2S gas reacts with the lead acetate forming lead sulfide, which is seen as a black precipitate.


Is acetate is transparent?

Yes, acetate is transparent. It is the main ingredient used to make what is known as transparency paper. Transparency paper is often used to display printed images over an overhead projector. This is considered old technology.


What is an acetate paper?

for making 3D glasses.Added:If it contains some Lead acetate, Pb(CH3COO)2 absorbed on dry paper it can be used as detector of hydrogen sulfide gases (toxic)When humidified and exposed to polluted air, it detects the presence of sulfides by turning black (Lead sulfide, PbS being formed)
