    Question

    Dr. Mayssa Amin 4/5/2011 3


     A charged comb often attracts small
    bits of dry paper that then fly away
    when they touch the comb. Explain.

    Dr. Mayssa Amin 4/5/2011 4


     When the comb is
    nearby, molecules in
    the paper are
    polarized and the
    paper is attracted.

    Dr. Mayssa Amin 4/5/2011 5


     During contact,
    charge from the
    comb is transferred
    to the paper by
    conduction.
     Then the paper has
    the same charge as
    the comb, and is
    repelled.
