Powell 100 Williams BrownHeadAugustine

A Balloons X, Y and Z are hanging as shown. Balloon X is positively- charged Balloon Y ____. Amust be positively- charged Dcould be either negatively-charged or neutral Bmust be negatively- charged Ecould be either positively-charged or neutral Cmust be neutral

What is D. could be either negatively-charged or neutral ?

The charge an electrophorus would gain if the base was made out of glass. A

What is Negative ?

The reason that scraps of paper jump up and down and back up when a charged plastic rod is brought near. A

What is The pieces become polarized, are attracted to the rod, and jump up. When they touch, the charge is transferred to the piece, giving it the same charge. The attraction stops. When it touches ground, it looses its charge, allowing it to become polarized again ?

Explanation of the basic process of charging an electroscope. A

What is A charged object is touched to the ball of the electroscope. The charges are transferred and travel across the bars of the scope, causing it to repel ?

Explanation of how one’s hair raises when you touch the Van de Graaff generator. A

What is Negative charges travel from the Van de Graaff generator onto one’s body as they try to get as they try to spread out. When on your hair, they cause it to raise up as they try to repel as far as possible ?
