Question

Does our hair stand up when we touch a
Van de Graff generator while standing
on a rubber mat? Explain why.

I will mark the first and the best answer as brainliest

Answer 1

When the Van de Graaff generator starts charging, it transfers the charge to the person who is touching it. Since the person's hair follicles are getting charged to the same potential, they try to repel each other. This is why the hair actually stands up. ... The charge (electronic wind) will cause the blinds to move.

Answer 2

If we use any product or piece of rubber or wood we won't get shock because they are bad conductor of electricity and electronic does not flow through it hence we don't get current

Hope this helps u
