When the perspex rod is rubbed with nylon and the rod becomes positively charge what charge will be on the nylon?
a negative charge
What did Thales of Miletos do to create a static electric charge?
he rubbed amber and it could pick up pieces of sticks, fur, wool or straw!
What was the first experiment with static electricity?
By BC 600, a philosopher by name Thales rubbed fur by amber and found that rubbed amber attracts piece of fine particles. This was the first experiment conducted I think so.
A rubbed balloon will stick to a wooden wall which demonstrated charge?
A rubbed balloon will stick to a wooden wall demonstrating the charge of static electricity. The friction of the rubbing of the balloon causes the charge to build.
Do cotton clothes get charged as much as nylon clothes?
Nylon clothes tend to carry a charge better than cotton. This is especially true if other nylon is present, such as a nylon rug.
When the perspex rod is rubbed with nylon and the rod becomes positively charge what charge will be on the nylon?
a negative charge
Explain clearly what happened when Thales rubbed the amber with the silk cloth?
it created an electrical charge
What is the charge on a piece of rubbed amber?
Friction strips electrons so the rubbed amber would take on a negative charge. Actually, friction causes charges to shift. Charges are indeed stripped from something, but they are collected up by something else. Amber does, indeed, become negatively charged by rubbing it with, say, fur. The phenomon is called triboelectric effect. And a link is provided.
What happened when thale rubbed the amber with silk cloth?
when amber is rubbed with silk cloth +ve charge comes on silk cloth and -ve on amber due to interaction between their molecules, so is that when we comb our hairs , then -ve charge comes on comb and +ve on hairs,so when we bring silk cloth near the comb they attract each other due to 'ving opposite charges
What happened when Thales rubbed the amber and the silk cloth?
Thales of Miletus, a Greek philosopher, discovered that rubbing amber with silk created an electric charge in the amber which caused objects to be attracted to it. If rubbed enough, it created a spark, much like we receive when we walk on carpet and touch a doorknob and see, hear and feel the spark.
What Thales rubbed with silk?
Amber
What did Thales of Miletos do to create a static electric charge?
he rubbed amber and it could pick up pieces of sticks, fur, wool or straw!
What is the definition of electrical charge?
Benjamin Franklin was the man that defined negative and positive charge. In the nineteenth century, positive and negative charge was known as vitreous and resinous charge, respectively.Franklin defined negative charge as the charge of a piece of amber after being rubbed against glass.
What happens when Amber is rubbed with fur?
Nothing happens. If it is not real amber just rubbing it will give off the scent of plastic.
What was the first experiment with static electricity?

Do nylon strips attract each other when rubbed on paper and held together?
yes
What is the difference between electron and elektron?
Elektron is the spelling for the Greek word meaning "amber". It originated as the namesake for the negatively charged subatomic particle known as the electron because of amber's affinity for developing a static charge when rubbed against certain materials, such as wool. In fact, while wool develops a positive charge (meaning it loses electrons) amber develops a negative charge by rubbing electrons off the wool.
