Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Chapter 17 Coulomb’s Law Two charges near one another exert a force on one another called the electric force. Coulomb’s law states that the electric force is propor- tional to the magnitude of each charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Section 2 Electric Force

A student standing on a piece of insulating material places her hand on a Van de Graaff generator. She then turns on the generator. Shortly thereafter, her hairs stand on end. Explain how charge is or is not transferred in this situation, why the student is not shocked, and what causes her hairs to stand up after the generator is started.

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Standardized Test Prep Chapter 17 Extended Response, continued 19. (See previous slide for question.) Answer: The charge on the sphere of the Van de Graaff generator is transferred to the student by means of conduction. This charge remains on the student because she is insulated from the ground. As there is no path between the student and the generator and the student and the ground by which charge can escape, the student is not shocked. The accumulation of charges of the same sign on the strands of the student’s hair causes the strands to repel each other and so stand on end.
