How can objects become electrified?

Adding acid to them
Rubbing with flannel
Shaking them in the air
A balloon is rubbed against a student's hair and then touched to a wall. The balloon sticks to the wall due to
The balloon is charged neutral, so is the wall, so it attracts to the wall
The balloon is charged opposite the wall, so it attracts to the wall
The balloon has a charge, so it attracts the neutral wall
The wall grounds the balloon, so it sticks
Which of the following law states that "we can never create a net electric charge. Instead, charge can only move from one place to another"?
Law of Electrostatics
Law of Conservation of Electric Charge
Law of Electric Charges
Law of Static Electricity
Which method of charging involves a physical interaction between two objects (mostly by rubbing)? In this case, 1 object obtains electrons and 1 losses electron making them a negatively charged and positively charged object, respectively.
Charging by conduction
Charging by Friction
Charging by induction
In an atom, the number of electrons and protons are equal. The net electric charge of an atom is, then, 0.
True
False
(a) are materials that allow electricity to flow through them easily. They facilitate the movement of electrons, making them useful for carrying electric current.
(a) hinder the free flow of electrons from one particle of the element to another. If we transfer some amount of charge to an insulator, the charge remains at the initial location and does not distribute across the surface.
What is the purpose of a goldleaf electroscope?
To measure temperature
To detect charges
To generate electricity
How does a goldleaf electroscope indicate the presence of a charge?
The leaves move closer together
The leaves move further apart
The leaves remain stationary
What material is commonly used for the gold leaves in a goldleaf electroscope?
Aluminum
Copper
Gold
