Why does a plastic comb rubbed with dry hair attracts pieces of paper?

Initially, the comb is electrically neutral. So it has no effect on the tiny pieces of paper. When the comb is rubbed on a dry cloth, it gets electrically charged. This charged comb exerts an electric force on the tiny pieces of paper and attracts them.

When a plastic pen is a rubber in dry hair it attracts tiny pieces of paper which force is involved in this process?

Answer: It’s the force of Electrostatic force, it is due to the attraction between two opposing charges.

When we comb our dry hair the hair is attracted to the comb the force involved in this is?

When the comb runs through dry hair, it gets charged by friction. The molecules in the paper get polarized by the charged comb, resulting in a net force of attraction.

What happened to the bits of paper when the plastic comb was placed near them what form energy is shown?

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.

When a plastic scale is rubbed against dry hair the plastic scale becomes?

The correct answer is Negative charge. A plastic scale after being rubbed against dry hair attracts bits of paper as it acquires a negative charge. The plastic scale gets electrically charged due to rubbing against dry hair.

What happens when you run a comb through dry hair?

When the comb runs through dry hair, it gets charged by friction. The molecules in the paper get polarized by the charged comb, resulting in a net force of attraction. If the hair is wet, or if it is a rainy day, the friction between the hair and comb reduces.

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.
