What experiment can you do toshow whether a plastic rod has changed or not?
You can rub the plastic rod with a piece of cloth and then try to attract small pieces of paper such as tissue paper or small paper bits. Repeat this process multiple times. If the plastic rod has gained or lost charge, its ability to attract the paper will change, indicating a change in the rod.
What is a material called that will attract small pieces of iron?
A material that attracts small pieces of iron is called a magnet. Magnets have magnetic properties that allow them to attract iron and other magnetic materials.
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.
Why is it difficult to do on humid day a plastic ruler that has been rubbed with cloth have the ability to pick up small pieces of paper?
On a humid day, the air is more saturated with moisture, making it harder for objects to build up an electrostatic charge, as the moisture helps to dissipate the charge. When a plastic ruler is rubbed with cloth, it gains a negative static charge that allows it to attract small pieces of paper that are neutrally charged. The moisture in the air reduces the effectiveness of the ruler’s static charge, making it more difficult to pick up the paper.
Why does a charged ruler attract small pieces of paper?
A charged ruler attracts small pieces of paper due to the electrical force between the charges. The ruler becomes charged when electrons are transferred to or from it, creating an electric field around it that exerts a force on the neutral pieces of paper, causing them to be attracted to the ruler.

Why can rubber rubbed with wool attract small bits of paper?
The reason why the pieces of paper are neutral is that they contain equal amount of positive and negative charges and so they cancel each other out. When you bring a charged plastic comb to the pieces of paper, the charge opposite to that of the plastic comb will be brought to a part of the surface of the paper where the plastic comb is. Opposite charges attract each other, and since you're holding the comb, the pieces of paper will be attracted to the comb.
Which region of the Caribbean was formed from small continental pieces that were carried by the Caribbean plate as it moved away from Africa?
the question can also be stated: As the Caribbean plate moved away from Africa, it carried small continental pieces with it, and those pieces became the islands of the ______? and the correct answer is Greater Antilles
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.
Does static electricity attract small pieces of tissue paper?
Yes, quite possible. That is due to electrostatic induction.
What Happens to Birds when They Eat Plastic?
Depends on how much, the shape and the consistency of the plastic. Small, soft pieces will just pass right through.
What minerals found in rocks can attract materials containing iron?
Magnetite (lodestone) is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on Earth and will attract small pieces of iron.
Why a ruller will attract pieces of papers?
when you rub the plastic ruler on e.g. a yellow duster it takes the electrons (which is the negative charge) from the yellow duster and the plastic ruler becomes negatively charged. The paper has both protons and electrons the protons are positively charged. and very much like a magnet the negative is attracted to the positive hence the paper sticks to the ruler Hastings Tarrant
What is glitter powder?
small pieces of metal or plastic with reflective surfaces. some are more of fine glass.
What does dottle mean?
If you are thinking of "dawdled", it means having moved too slowly. "Dottle" can also mean small pieces of dirt or ash, and "dottled" might mean covered with such small pieces of dirt or ash.
When the tip of a ballpen is rubbed in your hair why do it attract light objects?
The tip of a ball pen is plastic. When plastic is rubbed in a person's hair it attracts light objects due to static electricity. It can be any plastic that will create the static electricity. Even an inflated balloon will do this trick.
