Question

Can hair rubbed on air make static energy?


Open in App
Solution

Static energy:

  1. Certain materials can transfer negative charges, or electrons when they are rubbed against one another.
  2. For example, your body may accumulate extra electrons, for instance, if you rub your shoe on the carpet.
  3. While they wait to be released, the electrons cling to your body.

Hair rubbed on-air make static energy:

  1. No static electricity is generated when you rub your hair.
  2. However, when you rub your hair against something, static electricity is generated.
  3. Rubbing a balloon on your head also creates static electricity.
  4. Static energy may be described because of the imbalance of electrical prices on the floor of steel or an object.

Hence, there is no energy when you rub your hair.
