In a atom there are negative,positive as well as neutral charges. The positive charges(proton) and the neytral charges( neutron) are held together in nucleus by strong electrostatic forces. The negative charges( electron) keeps on revolving around the nucleus. A neutral atom has a equal number of positive and negative charges which balances each other. Now when the sheet of paper have been rubbed with wool then the negative charges gets attracted to the wool and due to the lack of negative charges the paper becomes positively charge.And so is the fur when rubbed with silk.

Why does tissue paper stick to a balloon when it has been rubbed by wool?

When the balloon is rubbed with wool, it gains a negative charge while the tissue paper remains positively charged. Opposite charges attract, causing the tissue paper to stick to the balloon. This is due to the transfer of electrons from the wool to the balloon, creating an electric charge imbalance between the two objects.


A plastic rod will pick up small pieces of paper when it has been rubbed with a cloth?

When the plastic rod is rubbed with a cloth, it becomes charged with static electricity. The rod becomes positively charged by stripping electrons from the cloth, making it attractive to the small pieces of paper which are negatively charged. This electrostatic force allows the plastic rod to pick up the small pieces of paper.

What is the charge of these bits of paper on a wooden paper?

The paper bits would be neutral in charge. If the wooden plate has been rubbed against another material, it could acquire an opposite charge, potentially leading to the paper bits being attracted or repelled by the wooden plate.


Why do two balloons that have been rubbed on a sweater repel each other?

When balloons are rubbed on a sweater, they become charged with static electricity. The balloons acquire a net negative charge, causing them to repel each other due to their like charges. This phenomenon is known as electrostatic repulsion.

Why is salt and pepper attracted to a straw after its been rubbed on felt or wool?

Both the salt and the pepper are attracted to the straw because of electrical charges. When you rub the straw on the wool/felt, those electrical charges are created.

How can charges be produced from and stored in insulators?

Certain materials will build up static charges when rubbed together. If you take fur and rub it against an acrylic rod then separate them, a static charge will have been built up and stored on the surface of the acrylic rod.


How to charge an object by friction?

An object can be charged by friction when rubbed against another surface such asa) polythene rod rubbed against a woollen cloth.This occurred because the woollen cloth lost some of it negative charges when it was rubbed, the negative charges was then transferred to the polythene rod. Now the polythene rod has been charge by friction.For proof... after it has been charged,place the polythene rod next to some *very small bits of paper and see what happens.
