Question

When a comb rubbed with dry hair attracts pieces of paper. This is because the (A) comb polarizes the piece of paper (B) comb induces a net dipole moment opposite to the direction of field (C) electric field due to the comb is uniform (D) comb induces a net dipole moment perpendicular to the direction of field

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When a comb rubhed with dry hair attracts pieces of paper. This is because the comb induces a net dipole moment opposite to the direction of field. This happens the field due to charge on comb induces dipole moment in paper by tretching or re-orienting molecules of the dielectric.
