Why copper rod cannot be charged?
Because Copper is a conductor and conductors do not hold electricity. The charge flows out. But, A copper rod can be charged if it is in a rubber handle. This will result in the charge staying in the rod, thus charging it.
A plastic rod is rubbed with fur the rod accumulates an overall charge through what method of charging?
It is static electricity.
Is a carbon rod an insulator?
A carbon rod may be an insulator or a conductor. It depends on which allotrope of carbon we're talking about. Electricity can travel through a graphite (carbon) rod easily, but it cannot travel through a diamond rod. Both graphite and diamond are carbon, but the former is a conductor while the latter is an insulator.
When a plastic rod is rubbed with a cloth the plastic rod gains what?
The plastic rod gains static electricity.
Is iron rod a conductor of heat and electricity?
Iron conducts both heat and electricity very well.
Why copper rod is covered with insulating material in Searle's apparatus?
Copper rod is covered by insulating materials, because copper is good conductor of electricity when we touch copper rod we get shock and insulators are bad conductor of electricity hence copper rod is covered by insulating materials

How does acid generate electricity?
Acid itself cannot generate electricity. The electricity is generated by the flow of the electrons. So we can use active metal & inactive medal with acid to generate electricity. For example. If you put a copper rod and a zinc rod in acid solution (for example, HCl), connect the two rods with a conductive wire (metal wire). The the electricity will be generated because the electrons will move from the Zinc (active) rod to the copper (inactive) rod
How are electro magnet different from permanent magnet?
Electro magnets differs from permanent magnet because it requires electricity. A simple electro magnet consists of an iron rod wrapped in a coil of copper and when electricity flows through the copper, a magnetic field is formed.
What is con duction?
conduction is the ability of something to allow something else to pass through it. eg. a metal rod conducts heat water through a pipe electricity through a wire
What is sentence for conduction?
Copper is good for electricity conduction.The entire rod became hot by conduction.
What metal is a lightning rod made of?
Any metal that will conduct electricity. Steel works fine, since it is strong. A ground rod driven into the ground and connected to the lightning rod with a wire or cable. The ground rod is usually copper clad (or plated) steel.
What is copper rod?
it is a rod made of copper
A plastic rod is rubbed with fur the rod accumulates an overall charge through what method of charging?
It is static electricity.
What is the 3 things that oersted discovered about the relationship between electricity and magnetism?
wire , copper rod en magnetic wire
If you rub a copper rod rather than a polythene rod the copper rod will not stay charged why not?
because copper cannot conduct static energy but polythene can.
Is a solid rod of copper a better conductor than a hollow rod of copper?
A solid rod because it has more particles in it. The heat then has a solid area to travel through and heat travels best through solids. I think you know the rest.
