Question

What is the difference in the charges on a balloon rubbed in your hair and a glass rod rubbed with silk? Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Due to the materials used, the charges on a glass rod rubbed with silk and a balloon rubbed in your hair differ. Due to the electrons on the balloon becoming negatively charged, a balloon rubbed in your hair, which typically contains static electricity, will be charged with a negative charge. In the meantime, the electrons that are rubbed off and onto a silk-covered glass rod will cause it to become positively charged because silk is essentially an insulator. The triboelectric effect is the term for this. This is because the balloon will take electrons from the hair, resulting in a negative charge, whereas the glass rod will transfer electrons from the silk to the rod, resulting in a positive charge.

Answer 2

Answer:

The final answer is as follows:

The difference in the charges present on the balloon after rubbing it with the hair and the glass rod with silk is that

• silk gains electrons while the hair loses electrons.
• the glass rod loses electrons while the balloon gains electrons.

Explanation:

As per the given question,

Situation 1:

Rubbing a glass rod with silk:

When the glass rod is rubbed with silk,

• Glass rod tends to lose the electrons
• While the silk gains electrons.
• Glass rod gets charged positively.
• Silk gets negatively charged.

Example:

Assume, glass rod has 10 protons and electrons each. Meanwhile the silk has 7 of each protons and electrons.

On rubbing the surfaces of both the glass rod and the silk,

Glass rod loses 2 electrons (remaining = 8 electrons).

Silk gains 2 electrons (remaining = 9 electrons).

Overall, the glass rod now has 8 electrons and 10 protons.

The silk has 9 electrons and 7 protons.

Hence, in this case, the silk gets negatively charged.

Situation 2:

Rubbing the balloon with hair:

When the balloon is rubbed with hair,

It results in flowing of the electrons from the hair to the balloon.

This is because the electrons are negatively charged.

Thus on rubbing the hair onto the balloon, causes

• the balloon to become negatively charged.
• the hair loses negative charge (electrons) and becomes positively charged.

Therefore, in both the situation 1 and 2 there is flow of electrons. However, the difference between the situations is that the silk gains electrons while the hair loses electrons.

And the glass rod loses electrons while the balloon gains electrons.
