Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

Why does a stream of water bend when a charged comb is brought close to it?
Because the neutral water is attracted to the charged comb.
State the electric charge of the object.
Neutral (net charge: 0)
State the electric charge of the object.
Positive (net charge: +4)
What is an electroscope?
An instrument that determines the presence of an electric charge.
Explain a trend on the Electrostatic Series. What does it mean moving down the table?
Materials are less likely to lose their electrons and instead gain electrons from other materials. They are more likley to be negatively charged.
Which material is likely to be more positive when charged: acetate or glass?
Acetate
What material is likely to be more negative when charged: fur or cotton?
Cotton
What part of an airplane is made of conductors? What part of an airplane is made of insulators?
Insulator = interior, passenger cabin / Conductor = exterior, metal surface
What is an example of an object that is made of both insulators and conductors?
A wire / An airplane
Describe how friction causes an object to be charged.
The act of rubbing/creating friction causes loose electrons to jump/transfer to a stronger electron attracting object.
Name one of the three ways to charge an object in static electricity.
Contact / Induction / Friction
What does "neutral" mean?
The number of protons equals the number of electrons. / There is no charge.
Name one of the three Laws of Electric Charges
If I say you're right, you're right!
Name one of the three Laws of Electric Charges
If I say you're right, you're right!
Name one of the three Laws of Electric Charges
If I say you're right, you're right!
What material are good conductors made of?
Metals
What is the name of the sudden shock we feel when we rub our socks on a carpet then touch another object?
Electrostatic discharge
Define Static Electricity.
A form of energy where the electric charge rests and accumulates at the surface of an object.
True or False: If an insulator gains a charge, the charge tends to stay there.
True
What is the major difference between an insulator and a conductor?
An insulator does not allow electrons to flow, conductors do.
What is an example of an insulator?
Rubber, paper, tile, plastic, etc.
Define electricity.
A form of energy resulting from the interaction of charged particles.
