What role might electrostatic force play in spider dispersal, according to a recent study?
a.) the negatively charged atmosphere attracts negatively charged spider silk.

b.) the positively charged atmosphere attracts positively charged spider silk.

c.) the positively charged atmosphere attracts negatively charged spider silk.

d.) the positively charged atmosphere attracts negatively charged spider silk.

The positively charged atmosphere attracts negatively charged spider silk, might electrostatic force play in spider dispersal, according to a recent study.

Option C

Explanation:

The positive charge present in upper of the atmosphere and the negative charge on planet’s surface. During cloudless skies days, the air possesses a voltage of nearly around 100 volts for each and every meter from above the ground.

Ballooning spiders process within this planetary electric field. When their silk relieve their bodies then it picks up a negative charge. This oppose the similar negative charges on the surfaces on which the spiders settles and create sufficient force to lift them into the air. And spiders can hike those forces by climbing onto blades of grass,twigs, or leaves.

i wanna say it’s between b and d, leaning more towards b.

probably not the "magnets"in the magnet, so to speak, are thought to be electrons orbiting in shells. vurrent loops two sides to the loop
