Science Max Static Electricity

Electrons move from the balloon to the hair, making the balloon positively charged and the hair negatively charged.

They repel each other.

They attract each other.

They have no effect on each other.

They sometimes attract and sometimes repel, depending on their size.

Rubbing a balloon on a metal surface.

Rubbing feet in socks on a carpet and then touching a metal doorknob.

Touching two uncharged metal objects together.

Placing a magnet near a metal object.

A positively charged cloud and a negatively charged ground.

A negatively charged cloud and a positively charged ground.

Both the cloud and the ground are positively charged.

Both the cloud and the ground are negatively charged.

They become negatively charged.

They become positively charged.

Their charge remains neutral.

They lose all electrical charge.

The hair becomes negatively charged and is attracted to the generator.

Each strand of hair becomes positively charged and repels the others.

The generator creates a strong magnetic field that pulls the hair upwards.

The static electricity causes the hair follicles to contract.

Both objects must be negatively charged.

Both objects must be positively charged.

A large difference in charge between the objects.

The objects must be made of the same material.

The copper wires are magnetic and pull the arc up.

The arc heats the surrounding air, and the hot air rises, carrying the arc with it.

Gravity pulls the electrical charge upwards.

The voltage continuously increases, forcing the arc higher.
