Hair Combing Physics Action!


While I was combing my hair today, I realized that there were some electrical physics concepts going on. In fact, they had been going on for pretty much every day of the year I had combed my hair. Which comes out to about 36 days. When running the comb through my hair, electrons from my hair, through physical contact, travel to the comb. This causese the comb to have more electrons and have an overall negative charge. My hair became positively charged because it loss electrons, meaning that my hair had a greater amount of protons than it did electrons.

way to think about physics EVERY moment of your life :)
hahaha
but seriously, this shows that you're minds open to interpreting physics in your everyday life
