Is static electricity on clothes in a dryer caused by friction or induction?

Answer 1

Static electricity causes the clothes to stick together because in the electricity, the negative and positive charges created by the heat and clothing materials are attracted to each other. This makes the clothes stick together when you pull them out of the dryer DIS IS FISH GUTS

Answer 2

Static cling occurs through a phenomenon called the triboelectric effect, in which electrons are transferred from one surface to another when two objects of different materials come into contact with each other and then separate. When electrons transfer from one object to another, one object is left with fewer electrons, and is thus positively charged, whereas the other object is left with a surplus of electrons, and is thus negatively charged.

.

In a clothes dryer, objects are able to come into contact with each other and then separate, giving rise to the triboelectric effect, and thus static cling. As you pull the clothes from the dryer, some will be positively charged, while others will be negatively charged. All charged objects, be they positive or negative, will mildly attract toward a neutrally charged object (you), and so the clothes you put on will cling to you because of the charge difference.

.

You can conduct an experiment of the triboelectric effect, and static cling, by rubbing an ordinary inflated balloon against your hair (works best for people with dry hair), and then gently placing the balloon against an interior wall. The balloon will adhere to the wall due to static cling. In this case, the triboelectric effect occurs between the balloon and your hair, and the wall is the neutrally charged object that the balloon clings to.

.

Fabric softeners that prevent static cling work by depositing a surface coating on the clothing, so that the clothing materials themselves do not actually come into contact with each other while in the dryer, and thus prevents the triboelectric effect from occurring.

Answer 3

The attraction between protons and electrons can also make clothes stick together in the dryer.

When you dry clothes in the dryer, different fabrics rub together, and electrons from a cotton sock (for instance) may rub off onto a polyester shirt. That's why clothes sometimes stick together and make sparks when you pull them apart. You may have used antistatic sheets in your dryer. As these sheets bounce around with your clothes, they add a uniform antistatic coating to the fabric. Rather than cotton rubbing against polyester, you've got the antistatic coating on the cotton rubbing against the antistatic coating on the polyester. No electrons rub off-and you don't get any static cling.

Answer 4

Yes, because static electricity is when the two particles compress together and then separate. For example, when the girl goes in the slide her hair strands compress together, and then separate which causes them to stick up like she got an electric shock.

==========================

Answer #2:

Static electricity is certainly one of the things that can do that.

Answer 5

Friction, but I would have thought that the stainless-steel drum and other metalwork of the dryer would drain the static charge to earth. Unless of course your appliance is not earthed - in which case I'm glad it's not in my house!

Answer 6

static electricity.

Every rubbed a ruller agaisnt wool then made your hair stand up? Same principle.
