When rubbed with a plastic rod, the glass will become charged through the process of triboelectric charging. The glass will acquire a positive charge, while the plastic rod will acquire a negative charge. This results from the transfer of electrons between the two materials due to their different abilities to attract and hold on to electrons.

How would you use a duster to charge a plastic rod?

To charge a plastic rod using a duster, rub the duster against the plastic rod. The friction between the materials will transfer electrons from the duster to the rod, giving the rod a negative charge.


Would the plastic lightning rod work better than the same as or not as well as a metal lightning rod?

A metal lightning rod is more conductive than a plastic one, so it would work better in attracting and conducting lightning strikes away from a structure. Plastic is not a good conductor of electricity, so a plastic lightning rod would not be as effective in protecting against lightning strikes.


Why does a charged glass rod attract charged plastic straw?

it is becuase when a glas rod charged by rubbing a cloth it aquires positive charge and when a plastic straw is charged by rubbing a cloth it aquires negative charge. Therefore a charged glass rod attracts a charged plastic rod.


Are cylindrical lenses available?

Yes, a piece of glass or plastic rod can be used as a cylindrical lense. If more precision or a nonstandard diameter is needed then a custom made cylindrical lense can be made of either glass or plastic to order.


What happens when glass rod rubbed with fur?

When a glass rod is rubbed with fur, the glass rod becomes positively charged and the fur becomes negatively charged. This is due to the transfer of electrons from the fur to the glass rod, creating a static electricity charge imbalance between the two materials.


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 glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth the charge produced in the glass rod is?

When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, the glass rod becomes positively charged. This is because electrons are transferred from the glass to the silk, leaving the glass with an excess of positive charge.


Use of a glass rod?

a glass rod is often used as a "Stir Stick" for mixing solutions or other materials as it is a tool that can be easily sterilized to prevent contamination in experiments. It also helpful when using acidic or basic chemicals which could potentially cause a reaction with standard metal stiring tools.


How a glass rod charged when rubbed with wool?

When a glass rod is rubbed with wool, electrons are transferred from the wool to the glass rod, making the rod negatively charged. This transfer of electrons causes the glass rod to become statically charged, meaning it has an excess of negative charge.
