Static Electricity and Balloon Experiments

The video demonstrates how charged balloons repel each other and explores whether this repulsion can occur through a barrier like paper. It further explains how balloons interact with conductors, such as a cookie sheet, due to their static charge. The video also shows that increasing the charge on the balloons causes them to repel each other more strongly. The tutorial is part of a series on static electricity, encouraging viewers to explore previous videos and look forward to upcoming content on water and physics.

What happens when two charged balloons are brought close to each other?

• They attract each other.

• They repel each other.

• They burst.

• They remain stationary.

What was the result when a piece of paper was placed between the balloons?

• The balloons attracted each other.

• The balloon followed the paper.

• The balloons stuck to the paper.

• The balloons repelled each other.

Why does the orange balloon stick to the cookie sheet?

• The cookie sheet is a conductor with a positive charge.

• The cookie sheet is made of plastic.

• The cookie sheet is negatively charged.

• The cookie sheet is uncharged.

What type of charge do the balloons have due to excess electrons?

• Neutral charge

• Positive charge

• Negative charge

• No charge

How does increasing the charge on the balloons affect their distance?

• They stay the same distance apart.

• They move closer together.

• They move farther apart.

• They start spinning.

What is the purpose of rubbing the balloons?

• To clean them

• To increase their charge

• To change their color

• To deflate them
