Dry towels have air in them, which is an insulator. Water has what’s called a high specific heat. This means that it can absorb a lot of energy without changing its temperature much. With a wet towel, the water just keeps absorbing your body heat, because it takes a huge amount of energy to warm up to body temperature.
Q. How do you charge an object positively?
An electrical charge is created when electrons are transferred to or removed from an object. Because electrons have a negative charge, when they are added to an object, it becomes negatively charged. When electrons are removed from an object, it becomes positively charged.

Q. Can you induce a charge on an insulator?
As a result, when a charged insulator (such as a positively charged glass rod) is brought close to the conductor, the (total) charge on the insulator exerts an electric force on the conduction electrons. This process is referred to as inducing polarization—in this case, polarizing the conductor.
Q. Can towels insulate?
Rolled or folded towels, clothing items or other fabric can insulate cold windowsills. This allows the windowsill to go cold without chilling the room. For blocking unwanted heat, light-blocking curtains or shades can keep sunlight out of a room.
Q. What is the charge on the silk?
When the glass rod is rubbed with silk clothes, glass quickly loses electrons, and silk takes electrons out of the glass rod. So after rubbing, the glass rod becomes positively charged and the silk gets negative charge.
Q. What will happen when two charged glass rods are brought together?
Two glass rods are obviously in the same place on the series, so if you rub two glass rods together there will be no significant charge transfer between them, and therefore they will neither repel nor attract each other.
Q. What happens when two objects have the same charge?
In contrast to the attractive force between two objects with opposite charges, two objects that are of like charge will repel each other. That is, a positively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second positively charged object. This repulsive force will push the two objects apart.
Q. How do you transfer a charge?
Whenever electrons are transferred between objects, neutral matter becomes charged. For example, when atoms lose or gain electrons they become charged particles called ions. Three ways electrons can be transferred are conduction, friction, and polarization. In each case, the total charge remains the same.
Q. What does charge mean?
transitive verb. 1a(1) : to fix or ask as fee or payment charges $50 for an office visit. (2) : to ask payment of (a person) charge a client for expenses. b : to record (an item) as an expense, debt, obligation, or liability charged a new sofa. c(1) : to impose a financial burden on charge his estate with debts …
Q. Can a charge be dropped?
A charge can be dropped before or after a charge has been filed. You may need a charge dropped by the prosecutor, or you may need a charge dismissed by the prosecutor, though a court also can dismiss a charge if the prosecutor has made a fundamental legal error in the case.
Q. What’s the difference between being charged and convicted?
Being charged with a crime merely means that the government has formally accused a person of a crime. Being convicted of a crime means that the person has plead guilty or has been found guilty after trial. A person convicted of a crime is, by law, Guilty.
