electric charges

Question 1

What is an insulator?

Answer 1

An insulator is an object that holds a charge

Question 2

how can friction transfer electrons?

Answer 2

Two insulators of different materials rub together and transfer electrons

Question 3

what is induction?

Answer 3

induction is when a charged object causes rearrangement of neutrons in a nearby neutral object.

Question 4

What are the three laws of static electricity?

Answer 4

The three laws of static electricity are opposites, attract like charges, repel and neutral charges attract charged objects.

Question 5

What are three ways of acquiring a static charge?

Answer 5

contact, friction and induction

Question 6

What’s an example of contact for one of the three ways of acquiring a static charge?

Answer 6

electrons move when one charged object touches another.

Question 7

what’s an example of friction for three ways of acquiring a static charge?

Answer 7

electrons are transferred by rubbing two insulators of different materials together.

Question 8

What’s an example of induction for three ways of acquiring a static charge?

Answer 8

A charged object attracts a neutral object by rearranging its electrons without contact (inducing a charge)
