Charging Methods and Their Effects

This video tutorial explores static electricity, focusing on three methods of charging objects: friction, contact, and induction. It explains how friction involves rubbing two objects to transfer electrons, resulting in one object becoming positive and the other negative. Charging by contact involves transferring charge through direct touch, giving the object the same charge as the source. Induction, a non-contact method, results in the object acquiring the opposite charge. The triboelectric series is introduced to determine which materials become positive or negative when rubbed together.

What are the two types of charges discussed in the video?

• Negative and neutral

• Positive and negative

• Protons and neutrons

• Positive and neutral

What happens when two neutral objects are rubbed together?

• Both objects become positively charged

• Both objects become negatively charged

• One object becomes positive and the other negative

• No charge is transferred

Which of the following is an example of charging by friction?

• Connecting a metal ball to the ground

• Rubbing a plastic rod with fur

• Bringing a charged rod near a metal ball without touching

• Touching a metal ball with a charged rod

What is the result of charging an object by contact?

• The object loses all charge

• The object remains neutral

• The object becomes oppositely charged

• The object gains the same charge as the charging object

In charging by contact, what happens when a negatively charged rod touches a metal ball?

• The metal ball becomes positively charged

• The metal ball becomes negatively charged

• The metal ball remains neutral

• The metal ball loses electrons

How does charging by induction differ from charging by contact?

• Induction requires direct contact

• Induction results in the same charge

• Induction does not involve charge transfer

• Induction involves no direct contact

What happens to the charges in a metal ball when a negatively charged rod is brought near it without touching?

• The positive charges move away from the rod

• The charges remain evenly distributed

• The positive charges move towards the rod

• The negative charges move towards the rod

What is the outcome of charging by induction?

• The object gains the same charge

• The object becomes neutral

• The object gains an opposite charge

• The object loses all charge

What does the triboelectric series help determine?

• Which materials become positive or negative

• The speed of electron movement

• The strength of a magnetic field

• The conductivity of a material

According to the triboelectric series, which material is likely to become positive when rubbed with plastic?

• Fur

• Glass

• Metal

• Plastic
