When steel is rubbed with vinyl, steel can become positively charged due to the transfer of electrons from the vinyl to the steel. This results in the steel gaining a net positive charge.

What happen when you rub vinyl with tissue paper?

Rubbing vinyl with tissue paper may generate static electricity, potentially causing dust and debris to stick to the vinyl surface. It is not recommended to rub vinyl records with tissue paper as it can lead to scratching or damaging the surface of the record. It is best to use a specialized cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth to clean vinyl records.


Why is only silk used to rub against glass in generating static electricity?

Silk is both excellent at insulating the charge from arcing, and at taking excess electrons, allowing the charge to build up on your object. Thus if you rub an object with out touching it directly in silk, it will progressively lose electrons and build up a static charge.


If you rub a balloon on your head the balloon will then adhere to the ceiling. Why?

When you rub the balloon on your head, it creates a static electric charge on the surface of the balloon. This charge attracts the opposite charge (negative) on the ceiling, causing the balloon to stick to the ceiling temporarily due to the electrostatic forces between them.


What does it mean when you feel electric when you touch things such as steel?

It may be possible that you had a charge in your body or something like that and you came in contact with somethingthat's a conductor of electricity. It happens to me all the time. Ever go and rub your socks on the rug and go to touch someone else and you shock them? It's the same concept, but it's with metal contact.

What happens when you rub vinyl with wool cloth?

You build a charge when rubbing vinyl with a wool cloth. The wool cloth is very weak in holding electrons so when you rub it with the ebonite rod the electrons transfer onto the rod. The rod is negatively charged (assuming that the rod was neutrally charged). The wool becomes positively charged (assuming that the wool was neutrally charged)
