Electrostatics

What does friction involve in terms of objects?

• Two objects repelling each other

• One object floating over another

• Two objects merging together

• One object rubbing against another

What happens to the charge when two different materials are rubbed together?

• It remains unchanged

• It is created

• It is destroyed

• It is transferred

What law is demonstrated through the charge transfer examples?

• Newton's First Law of Motion

• Law of Conservation of Charge

• Ohm's Law

• Law of Conservation of Energy

What does the Triboelectric Series rank?

• Materials by their ability to gain or lose electrons through friction

• Materials by their electrical conductivity

• Materials by their density

• Materials by their thermal conductivity

In the practice problem, what happens to the charge of the spheres after they touch?

• It doubles

• It halves

• It remains the same

• It becomes zero

How is charge transferred between two touching conductors?

• Through the movement of protons

• By creating new electrons

• Through the movement of electrons

• By destroying excess charge

What initiates the process of induction?

• Rubbing two objects together

• Connecting two objects with a wire

• A charged object coming near a conductor

• Direct contact between objects

During induction, what happens to the electrons in the conductor?

• They are transferred to the charged object

• They move around within the conductor

• They are destroyed

• They remain stationary

What is the outcome of the induction process in the example given?

• Both spheres get a positive charge

• Both spheres get a negative charge

• Both spheres remain uncharged

• One sphere gets a positive charge, and the other gets a negative charge

What happens to the electrons during the induction process?

• They are transferred to the charged rod

• They move away from the charged rod within the conductor

• They are attracted to the charged rod

• They remain evenly distributed
