2.

Which of the following is the best description of movement between a charged balloon and beads?

a)

No motion observed.

b)

Some beads moved toward the balloon and some moved away from the balloon.

3.

PICK TWO!

a)

none of the beads have a charge

b)

some beads have a positive charge

c)

some beads have a negative charge

d)

the negative charge of the balloon goes away

4.

Why would some beads be repelled?

a)

The balloon is negatively charged and some beads are negatively charged

b)

The balloon is negatively charged and some beads are positively charged.

5.

Why would some beads be attracted to the balloon?

a)

The balloon is negatively charged and some beads are negatively charged

b)

The balloon is negatively charged and some beads are positively charged.

6.

How did the balloon get a negative charge?

rubbing with a wool cloth

7.

<Use poster A/B>

How does position affect energy transfer to the objects in system A/B?

Pick TWO!

a)

When two like charged objects are closely positioned, potential energy increases.

b)

When two like charged objects are closely positioned, potential energy decreases.

c)

When the distance between two like charged objects increases, potential energy increases.

d)

When the distance between two like charged objects increases, potential energy decreases.

8.

<Use poster A/B>

Which motion must happen for potential energy to be released in system A/B?

a)

9.

What is the mechanism for that release in this system?

a)

Gravitational force of repulsion

b)

Electric force of repulsion

c)

Gravitational force of attraction

c)

When the distance between two unlike charged objects increases, potential energy increases.

d)

When the distance between two like charged objects increases, potential energy decreases.

11.

<Use poster C/D>

Which motion must happen for potential energy to be released in system C/D?
