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.
What happens when you rub a comb in a piece of wood?
Rubbing a comb against a piece of wood can create a static charge on the comb due to friction. The comb may attract small lightweight objects such as paper or hair because of the static electricity generated.
What happens if you rub a comb on the jumper and hold it above some small pieces of tissue paper?
Rubbing a comb on a jumper creates static electricity which can attract the lightweight tissue paper pieces to the comb. The positively charged comb attracts the negatively charged tissue paper, causing the pieces to stick to the comb due to the imbalance of charges.
Why does a comb drawn through hair attract a tiny piece of paper?
If a comb drawn through (dry) hair attracts a tiny piece of paper, it is almost certainly due to static electricity. We know that when some things are "rubbed" on other things, electrical charges can be displaced. A difference of potential is set up between two objects by moving charges from one object to another. And the difference of potential can, through electrostatic force, cause what is observed here.
How do you explain why a charged comb often attracts smaller bits of papers that fly away when they touch the comb?
When the comb is charged, it creates an electric field around it. When the charged comb is brought close to the small bits of paper, it induces a charge in them by polarizing their electrons. Opposite charges attract, so the paper bits move towards the comb due to the attraction between the comb's charge and the induced charge in the paper bits.

When you comb your hair and you put the comb with hair near the small piece of paper?
due to force of attraction b/w opposite charges

What kind of force can make a small piece of paper cling to a comb?
static electricity? dont really understand what exactly u mean
What happen to the bits of paper when you rule the comb for several times?
When you run a comb through bits of paper multiple times, the friction generates static electricity, causing the comb to become charged. This static charge attracts the bits of paper, causing them to lift and stick to the comb. As you continue to comb through the paper, more bits may be attracted and lifted due to the comb's increasing charge. Eventually, the bits of paper may fall off when the charge dissipates or when they are no longer attracted to the comb.
When you place a comb in bits of paper it does not stick but if you run the comb through your hair it sticks after combing your hair?
The comb attracts the bits of paper when you rub it against your hair because your hair becomes charged with static electricity as the comb runs through it. The charged hair acts as a magnet, allowing the paper bits to stick to the comb. When the comb and paper bits are initially placed together without running through hair, there is no transfer of static charge to attract the paper.
Why is a comb able to pick up small pieces of paper?
A comb is able to pick up small pieces of paper due to its thin and closely spaced teeth, which create friction that helps grip the paper fibers. As the comb is dragged across the paper, the teeth catch onto the edges of the paper pieces, allowing them to be lifted and transported.
Static electricity using comb and paper?
static electricity is caused by the attraction or repulsion of electric charges. surfaces have the ability to transfer charges to each other. when you comb your hair that is what happens. your hair gives the comb so electrons so now the comb isnegativley charged. when you put the comb near the paper, all the negative charges in the paper move away and te positive chrages move toward the comb,this makes the paper cling to the comb
What will happen to a piece of paper that contains positive charge if close to the comb contains the negative charge?
The positive charge on the paper will be attracted to the negatively charged comb. The paper will be pulled towards the comb due to electrostatic attraction. If the charges are strong enough, the paper may stick to the comb temporarily.
