What charge is your hair after you comb it with an ebonite comb explain why this happens?

What charge is your hair after you comb it with an ebonite comb explain why this happens?

Figure 18.2 When an ebonite rod is rubbed against animal fur, electrons from atoms of the fur are transferred to the rod. This transfer gives the rod a negative charge (–) and leaves a positive charge (+) on the fur.

What charge is on the comb after combing your hair?

positive charge
The comb, covered in negatively charged electrons, becomes negatively charged as well, and your hair is left with a positive charge. This “separation of charge” is the reason for the collection of effects we call static electricity. If two objects have different charges, they attract (or pull towards) each other.

Is ebonite positively or negatively charged?

The ebonite rod has 9 electrons and 7 protons making it negatively charged.

What happens when rubber is rubbed with ebonite?

Answer: Ebonite rod is a rod made by special vulcanized rubber. On rubbing the ebonite rod with fur, electrons move from fur to the ebonite rod. The electrons in fur are less tightly bound than electrons in ebonite and hence ebonite gets a negative charge.

Why does hair attract to a comb?

When a comb is run through your hair charges pass between your hair and the comb, so the comb becomes charged either positively or negatively, and the hair oppositely charged. When the comb is brought close to paper an opposite charge is induced in the paper, and the opposite charges attract.

When you rub a plastic comb against your hair?

When two surfaces are rubbed together there is friction between them. Friction is a resistance against the movement of an object as a result of its contact with another object. This means that when you rubbed the plastic comb along your hair, your hair resisted the movement of the comb and slowed it down.

Why does a comb become negatively charged?

The molecules orientate their dipoles, the negative oxygen towards the comb; the positively charged hydrogens away from it. When you comb your hair with a nylon comb, both the comb and your hair become charged. This is a result of your hairs repelling each other because they are charged.

How many mega coulombs are positive and negative charges?

We know that 1 megacoulomb (1MC) is equal to 106 coulombs. Hence 1 mole of neutral hydrogen molecule contains 0.1927 mega coulombs of positive charge.

Can a charged body attract another uncharged body?

Yes, a charged body attracts an uncharged body as the oppositely charged bodies attract each other.

When a silk cloth is rubbed with a glass rod the rod?

A glass rod becomes positively charged when rubbed with silk, while the silk becomes negatively charged.

What are the charges on my hair after comb?

After I comb my hair, does it supposed that my hair is positively charged and the wood comb is negatively charged? since the electrons went from your hair to the wood comb. I can’t really understand what you are asking.

How does electricity get generated when you comb your hair?

Does it get generated always when we comb hair? The motion of the comb against your hair remove electrons from the hair and deposits them on the comb. The positively charged hair and negatively charge comb now attract each other due to their opposite charges.

What happens to the electrons in your hair?

The motion of the comb against your hair remove electrons from the hair and deposits them on the comb. The positively charged hair and negatively charge comb now attract each other due to their opposite charges.

What does static electricity do to our hair?

Reason is that plastic combs generate static electricity. Question: What does static electricity do to our hair that it is said that we should use wooden combs to prevent that electricity generation?
