What happens to electrons when two objects are rubbed together from friction?

Electrons move from one object to another

What happens when a charged object directly touches another object through conduction?

Electrons transfer from the more negative to the more positive object

Electrons transfer from the more positive to the more negative object

In the passage, what happens to the girl's hair when she rubs balloons on it?

Electrons are transferred from her hair to the balloons

Electrons are transferred from the balloons to her hair

Her hair becomes positively charged

What is electric discharge?

The loss of charges after static electricity has built up on an object

The gain of charges on an object

The movement of electrons from the ground to the clouds

The process of charging an object through friction

How does lightning occur according to the passage?

Electrons move from the bottom of the cloud to the positively charged ground

Electrons move from the ground to the clouds

The clouds release rain which causes lightning

The sun's energy causes the clouds to discharge

What happens to the charges on the ground and clouds after lightning strikes?

The ground becomes negatively charged

The clouds become positively charged

What causes a person to feel a shock after rubbing shoes on carpet and touching a doorknob?

Electrons in the doorknob move to the positively charged person

The doorknob becomes positively charged

The person's shoes become negatively charged

Which of the following are examples of electric discharge? Choose all that are true.

lightning during a thunderstorm

shock after touching a doorknob

bits of paper sticking to a ruler

Why does touching a doorknob after rubbing shoes on the carpet produce a shock?

Due to the discharge of static electricity accumulated on your body.

Touching the doorknob releases a chemical reaction that produces light.

Rubbing shoes on the carpet creates heat that causes the doorknob to glow.

The doorknob is made of a special material that generates electricity.

Which of the following are ways objects can become charged. Choose all that are true!

Electrons can move from one object to another as two objects rub together through friction.

One object becomes charged when it directly touches a charged object through conduction.

Electrons of an object can rearrange themselves when placed near a charged object through induction.
