You charge a balloon by rubbing it on your hair. This is an example of what method of charging?

• Friction

• Conduction

• Grounding

• Induction

The SI unit of charge is ___________.

• the ampere

• the newton

• the coulomb

• the joule

What is the end result of charging two objects by friction?

• Object have the same charge, so they will attract one another.

• Object have the same charge, so they will repel one another.

• Object have opposite charges, so they will attract one another.

• Object have opposite charges, so they will repel one another.

What method of charging is shown in this picture?

• Contact

• Friction

• Grounding

• Electron Shifting

What is the end result of charging by contact?

• Objects have the same charge, so they will attract one another.

• Objects have the same charge, so they will repel one another.

• Objects have opposite charges, so they will attract one another.

• Object have opposite charges, so they will repel one another.
