Suggest why the small peice of paper stick to the charged comb?

The small piece of paper sticks to the charged comb because of static electricity. When the comb gets charged by rubbing it against a material like fabric or fur, it gains excess electrons which create a negative charge. The negative charge on the comb attracts the positively charged protons in the paper, causing the paper to stick to the comb.


Which sequence of energy transformations occurs after a battery-operated flashlight is turned on?

Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).
