Brass is a conductor of electricity, so when two brass objects are rubbed together, any charge generated would quickly dissipate through the material. This makes it difficult to build up and maintain a static charge on brass through rubbing.

Why cant nothing be charged by static electricity?

Not sure what you are asking. You have used two fine negative words in the question, so interpretation is difficult."Why can't anything be charged by static electricity?"Static means stationary. Once the static electricity is given the chance to flow, it is dissipated. If I charge myself with static electricity by rubbing my shoes on a synthetic carpet, then I have "trapped" the electricity - it is static or still. When I touch my friend on the ear or hand, the electricity flows to her with a zap and is lost to the ground.Electricity that is generated or from a battery flows continuously in a circuit it is not dissipated.


Why cant static electricity be created on a metal tube by rubbing it with another material?

Static electricity is typically generated by the transfer of electrons between two materials with different tendencies to attract electrons. Since metals are conductive, any excess charge on the metal tube will quickly dissipate due to the free movement of electrons within the metal. This prevents the buildup of static electricity on a metal tube when rubbed with another material.


Why cant determine the positive and negative charge with electroscope?

Electroscope can detect the presence of charge but cannot determine whether it is positive or negative because it simply detects the presence of charge, causing the leaves to either repel or attract. To determine the type of charge, additional methods such as bringing a known charged object close to the electroscope are needed to observe the interactions.


What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?

Light can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, where sound cannot travel as it requires a medium like air, water, or a solid to propagate. Light can also travel through transparent materials like glass or air, while sound is mostly blocked or absorbed by these materials.


How does magnetic force works?

The magnetic forces from the North and South pole send magnetic forces around the earth, that's why on a magnet you cant stick North and North or South and South, They have the same magnetic force

Why woodwind should be in front of the brass?

I think because the woodwind cant produce that loud of a sound and the brass can... cause i play the trumpets with trombone sitting next to me and saxaphones sitting next to them and all 3 of us produce a sound so load, we cant hear the clarenets and flutes even tho them 2 together have a greater number of players than us brass insterments so in conclusion, the brass play loader than the woodwind insterments

Can nitric acid melt brass?

Yes, brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and nitric acid cant "melt" (ie oxidize) both of them. The reaction releases dangerous fumes of nitrogen dioxide and must be performed in a fume hood.
