Question

Does plastics cause static electricity? Explain it with the
help of a simple activity. Record the method used and
your observations in your notebook.

Answer 1

Answer:

You can observe static electricity if you run a plastic comb through your hair, then place the comb near small pieces of paper. The paper is attracted to the comb. This happens because the charged comb induces an opposite charge in the paper and as opposite charges attract, the paper sticks to the comb.
