Your clothing tends to cling together after going through the dryer. Why? Would you expect more or less clinging if all your clothing were made of the same material (say, cotton) than if you dried different kinds of clothing together? Again, why? (You may want to experiment with your next load of laundry.)

    Answer and Explanation:

    The clothing after spinning in the dryer cling together. This is because in the dryer they are rubbed against each other and due to this rubbing, electrons are transferred from one to the other clothes and acquire charge as a result of charging by friction thus producing static electricity.

    As the material of the clothes in the dryer is different, clinging will be more.

    The sticking of these clothes together is known as Static cling.

    In case, the clothing are of same material, the static electricity produced as a result of frictional charging would be less and hence less static cling would occur.
