Why does a charged glass rod attract charged plastic straw?

Answer 1

it is becuase when a glas rod charged by rubbing a cloth it aquires positive charge and when a plastic straw is charged by rubbing a cloth it aquires negative charge. Therefore a charged glass rod attracts a charged plastic rod.

Answer 2

The charged rod attracts water because water is polar; the electrostatic charge pulls the opposite charge of the water molecule towards it. This happens regardless of the charge on the rod, because the water has both charges.

Carbon tetrachloride is nonpolar, however, and so there is nothing to be attracted to the rod.

Answer 3

Before the plastic rod was charged it was neutral. When you rubbed the cloth on the plastic rod the negative charge from the cloth goes to the rod, making the rod negatively charged. The paper is neutral but because like charges repel, when the negative charges on the paper move away so the negative charge from the rod attracts with the positive charge from the paper making them stick.

Answer 4

When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, it becomes positively charged, while a plastic straw becomes negatively charged. Opposite charges attract each other due to electrostatic forces. This attraction occurs because the positively charged glass rod induces a negative charge on the plastic straw, creating a strong attractive force between the two objects.

Answer 5

because the benzz of the zeema is quite zeusy in comparison to the fluctuation of water.
