What happens when you rub wool and amber together and why?
Nothing happens. I have amber and wear it with wool and other clothing. At the very most there is friction.
What happens when you rub amber against cotton?
When you rub amber against cotton, the friction between the materials causes a transfer of electrons, leading to a build-up of static electricity. This results in the amber and cotton becoming electrically charged, with the amber typically gaining a negative charge and the cotton gaining a positive charge.
What happens if you rub pyrite against steel?
If you rub pyrite against steel sparks would fly.
What happens when chains rub against metal?
Wear
Where did the word electric come form and why?
The Greeks discovered (2000 years ago) that you could rub certain materials against amber and the amber would hold a charge. Their word for amber was elektron.
What happens when rub an ebonite with a wool cloth?
The ebonite rod will gather a static electric charge, as electrons are transferred.
What happens to the particles in balloon when you rub the balloon against your hair?
It will shock your hair
What happens when you rub vinyl with wool cloth?
You build a charge when rubbing vinyl with a wool cloth. The wool cloth is very weak in holding electrons so when you rub it with the ebonite rod the electrons transfer onto the rod. The rod is negatively charged (assuming that the rod was neutrally charged). The wool becomes positively charged (assuming that the wool was neutrally charged)
What happens when a cotton shirt and a wool sweater rub together why?
When a cotton shirt and wool sweater rub together, they create friction that can generate static electricity. This can cause the fabrics to stick together or even produce a small spark. The different properties of cotton and wool fibers rubbing together create a charge separation, which results in static electricity.
What happens to earth when earthquakes happen?
plate rub against each other to cause an earthquakes
What happens when you rub an ebonite stick with a wool cloth?
Electrons are tranferred to the stick, causing it to take on a negative charge
What happens when you rub a comb of a piece of wool?
The copper penny might get cleaner. If it were a rubber penny, then you would get static electricity.
