Experiments with static electricity

                               

Experiment 1:


What you will need:


1.Balloon
2.Your hair or silk or warm  cloth
3.place near wall

What to do:


1.Take the balloon and rub it with your hair as quickly as possible.
2.make it closer to the wall
3.you will see that it sticks with the wall.

How it works:


*When you rub the balloon with your hair it produces static charge in the balloon which is a negative and when it get closer to the wall it sticks because the wall have + charge and the balloon- the two opposite charge attract each other resulting the balloon to stick.
For best results try on a cold day with less humidity.





Experiment no.2




What you need:


1.A plastic scale(or comb).
2.A piece of paper.
3.A scissor .


What to do:


1.Take the piece of paper and  tear in into small pieces with the scissor.
2.Place the small pieces of paper on a surface.
3.Now rub your scale with your hair for  10 to 15 sec.
4.Now take it closer to the pieces of paper on the surface.

You will see that the pager is trying to stick with the scale .Is it MagiC !!, but The answer is no.


What happened:



*When you rub the scale with your hair it produces static charge in the balloon which is a negative and when it get closer to the piece of paper it sticks because the paper  have + charge and the balloon- the two opposite charge attract each other resulting the balloon to stick.

Now you know that Opposite charges always Attract .

Make a Volcano at home

                                 


Things you will need:


1# Some mud or dust(you can also use clay or plaster)for the body of the volcano.

2#Some Baking soda.

3#vinegar

4#Some dish washing soap.

5#Some food coloring (red or yellow will be better).

6# Card board (Optional)


What to do now:


1. find a place outside your house and clean up some dust.(You can also make in a card board.).

2. Put the jar down,and make volcano body around the jar.

3. Put 2  tablespoon of baking soda.

4. 1 spoon of dish soap

5.Add 5 drops of  food coloring .

Now make volcano live,

6# Add the vinegar about one ounce.Now watch your volcano erupting.



What Is Happening:


* By adding vinegar to the mixture of baking soda and other substances ,the reaction caused by this, produces  various gases like carbon dioxide,etc. The mixture of  baking soda and vinegar produces gases and the washing soap help to produce bubbles for your volcano.
This is how your volcano is produced.



Try yourself,


Will your volcano work better if: 

* Some thing is more added to this to make this lava real.

*Does the volcano erupts faster if the shape of volcano is changed.

* By increasing the amount of substances and the size of volcano.



                                                               




                                                      Happy playing with volcano

Build a Hover Craft From Balloon

                                           

                     

                          Build a Hover Craft From Balloon


                                 

Things You Will Need:



*A balloon
*An old Cd
*Hot Glue or epoxy
*A water bottle cap(any which works well)



What To Do Now:




* Get The bottle cap and poke a  medium size hole in the center.

*Now,get the CD and at the top of  its center hole fix the cap 
of the water bottle at the center hole of the CD.

*Fix it with hot glue to keep it airtight.

*Now wrap the balloon's end at the top of the cap.

*Your hover craft balloon is almost ready,
Blow it up from the bottom and leave it on the surface,
and u are ready to go.



What Is Happening:


*The flow of air created by the balloon between the surface and the CD make the friction
less applicable to the surface.And the balloon floats easily over a smooth surface.




Try yourself:




Think,


*Will the Hower craft will work better if,

*If u use a big surface area instead of Cd

*If u use a big balloon.

*will a helium balloon will work better then this air filled balloon.

Introduction

Humans are never left behind in the race of Science and technology.
From the beginning of  the world, the man has  doing experiments to gain knowledge of science .
From lighting fire from rubbing two stones to going to moon.
I have thought of making this blog useful to students to increase there knowledge in science.
I hope You will find this very useful.
