It's a rod made out of a certain type of plastic, i have most commonly seen them used in science lessons at high school, if you rub them against a piece of fur they will become negatively charged because electrons from the fur travel into the perspex rod. hope that helps.

What happens if a perspex rod is rubbed to a piece of paper instead of a polythene rod?
Rubbing a perspex rod against a piece of paper will likely transfer some electrons from the perspex to the paper, causing the perspex rod to become positively charged and the paper to become negatively charged. This can create an electrostatic attraction between the rod and the paper.
What happens to a perspex rod when it is rubbed by a duster?
Both are originally have equal electrons and protons. After rubbing, electrons move to the duster, from the rod. The duster, as it gains electrons, has more electrons than protons, therefore becoming negatively charged. The rod, losing electrons, becomes negatively charged. then, the rod is able to momentarily pick up little bits of paper for short periods at a time.
When the perspex rod is rubbed with nylon and the rod becomes positively charge what charge will be on the nylon?
a negative charge
Why do the electrons of the Perspex rods get transferred to the cloth when rubbed?
static electricity; there are more electron on the rod, so when the two objects come together, the electrons would naturally go to the cloth. Think of it as when you're in a ROM and the door's finally open to an empty space, people would naturally want to spread out there.
Is perspex a conductor?
No, perspex is an insulator. It is a type of acrylic plastic that does not conduct electricity.

Will a piece of perspex attract a polythene rod?
Yes, perspex can become attracted to a polythene rod when rubbed together due to the transfer of electrons between the two materials, resulting in a temporary static charge.

When was Perspex Island created?

Is perspex a conductor?
No, perspex is an insulator. It is a type of acrylic plastic that does not conduct electricity.
