Nucleus
Photon
Which of the following is an example of creating charge through convection?
Rubbing two insulators together to transfer electrons from one to another.
Rubbing two insulators together to rearrange the electrons on each one, without transferring any.
Bringing a charged insulator near to a conductor, but not letting them touch.
None of these.
What do we call a positively charged atom?
an electron
a proton

The electric force is created when two charges push or pull on each other.
True
False
A rubber balloon is rubbed against a person's hair. This is an example of creating charge through _______________.
convection
conduction
insulation
polarization
Do charged material often occur in nature?
Yes, charges flow naturally and create large amounts of natural, charged material.
No, charges are usually balanced within each atom, so charged material is not common in nature.
An electrician usually works with copper wiring. Why is this a better material than, say, rubber cabling?
The copper is a good insulator and keeps the charges inside the wire.
The rubber is a good conductor, and would let all the charges escape.
The copper is a good conductor and lets the charges move around to create electricity.
The rubber is a good conductor and lets the charges move around to create electricity.
