A negatively charged object is brought near a neutral, insulating object. What can be said about the charges on the neutral object?

The object becomes polarized, so there is a force of attraction between them.

The object remains neutral because it is an insulator and there is no force between them.

A positive charge is induced on it and they attract.

A negative charge is induced on it and they repel.

During a lightning storm, your car is a reasonably good place to be. Why?

You are enclosed in a conductor so charge will go around you.

The rubber tires insulate your car from the ground.

Lightning only hits older VW vans.

Actually, a car is a really bad place to be because of all of the conductors around you.

what is a Lightning conductor ?

A pointy metal rod which sends all charge accumulated on the building to the ground.

its one end is buried in the ground

Top Part of the clouds Develops ________ and bottom part of the clouds develops ___________ during Thunderstorm and Lightning.

Positive charge, Negative charge

Negative charge , Negative charge

Positive charge, Positive charge

What are the types of charges developed on the clouds during a Thunderstorm?

Both Positive and Negative charges

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

A conductor allows electricity to flow through it easily and an insulator does not.

An insulator allows electricity to flow through it easily and a conductor does not

An insulator is magnetic and a conductor is not

A conductor is magnetic and an insulator is not

Which of the following is best to describe the main difference between an insulator and conductor?

how easily they will carry a current

a conductor will carry current with only a very small voltage while an insulator won't carry a current at all unless the voltage is extremely high

conductors are made of metal but insulators are plastic

An insulator will never let current flow while conductors always allow currents to flow

The teacher rubbed two balloons with a piece of wool. What will happen when the balloons are brought near each other?

The balloons will repel each other.

The balloons will attract each other.

The balloons will become positively (+) charged.

What happens when you touch a metal doorknob after rubbing your shoes on the carpet?

Millions of electrons go from your finger into the doorknob

The doorknob sends a burst of electric current into your body

The doorknob sends millions of electrons into your finger

our finger becomes negatively charged

What makes a charged balloon stick to the wall?

Extra electrons on the surface of the balloon push away electrons in the wall, leaving a positively charged area.

Protons transferred to the balloon when it was rubbed on metal.

The rubber in the balloon has a magnetic field that pulls on the wood in the wall.

Electricity in the balloon creates a magnetic field that attracts the metal in the wall.

If two objects with static charge are attracted, what do you know about them?

One is positively charged and one is negatively charged, but you won't be able to tell which is which.

They are both positively charged.

They are both negatively charged.

One is positively charged and one is negatively charged, and you can tell which is which by looking at them.

Static electricity is:

the buildup of electric charges on an object

when protons move between objects

a large discharge of static electricity

a high-voltage electric current

What causes static electricity?

when positive and negative charges are not balanced

only an object losing electrons

only an object gaining electrons

when positive and negative charges balance
