charging by induction

Question 1

what is grounding?

Answer 1

the charge on an object is removed and the object becomes neutral when it touches a large object (ex. earth)

Question 2

what is induction?

Answer 2

charging a neutral object by bringing a charged object close to but not touching the neutral object

Question 3

when a charged object is near but not touching a neutral object, what sides does the neutral object have?

Answer 3

• positive

- negative

Question 4

the same charges are repelled or attracted from the charged object?

Answer 4

repelled

Question 5

the opposite charges are repelled or attracted from the charged object?

Answer 5

attracted

Question 6

will the objects charge change when a charged object is brought near it?

Answer 6

no

Question 7

when a charged object is close to but not touching a grounded neutral object, the neutral object can gain or lose electrons from where?

Answer 7

the ground

Question 8

if the ground is not removed and the charged object is removed, the neutral object’s charge will be _____

Answer 8

neutral

Question 9

if there is no ground, where do the electrons in an electroscope go if the charged object is negative?

Answer 9

to the leaves– they are repelled

Question 10

if there is no ground, where do the electrons in an electroscope go if the charged object is positive?

Answer 10

to the ball– they are attracted

Question 11

if there is a ground present, where do the electrons in an electroscope go if the charged object is negative?

Answer 11

to the ground– they are repelled

Question 12

if there is a ground present, where do the electrons in an electroscope go if the charged object is positive?

Answer 12

from the ground into the electroscope– they are attracted

Question 13

if the ground is removed before the charged object, the neutral object will be _____

Answer 13

charged
