Cloud
What are the 2 Charges in the clouds?
Negative on the bottom, positive on the top.
Are the only Atoms in the cloud, Protons, Neutrons, Electrons? True or False.
True
If there is more force what is the charge?
A higher charge.
More of what makes water conductive?
Salt.
Where are the safest places during lightning?
closed building with pipes and wiring, or a closed car.
What particles are in the cloud?
Ice crystals and water droplets.
What charges do the atoms have?
Neutrons have neutral charge, protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.
What is Coulomb's Law?
higher the charge = higher the force
lower the charge = lower the force
more distance = less force
less distance = higher force
What is in the water when Lightning attracts?
H2O, Sodium(Na), Chlorine(Cl).
What is happening with the electrons are being taken from air molecules?
Ionization.
What's happening in the cloud before lightning accurs?
The ice crystals and water droplets collide and transfer electrons.
True or false. Protons and Neutrons are located in the Nucleus.
True
Where was Charles Coulomb from?
France.
True or false. Distilled water conducts energy.
False.
What month does lightning occur in the most?
July.
Whats happening between the particles in the Cloud?
The ice crystals are colliding with water droplets in the cloud transferring electrons.
What charge does an object have if there is 4 Protons, 4 Neutrons, and 5 electrons?
-1
True or false. Coulomb's law is the electrostatic force of attracting or repelling between two point charges.
True.
What is H2O made of?
Hydrogen 2 and oxygen.
What happens to electricity in nonmetals versus metals?
In nonmetals it vibrates, but metal allows electricity to flow through.
What are the key things in the cloud before lightning if you were to draw a model?
Negative and positive charges, electrons, protons, neutrons, ice crystals, water droplets, collisions.
What is the movement of electrons called?
Electricity.
What is the equation for Coulomb's Law?
What charge does H2O have when conducting electricity?
Partial Charge.
What was the coin used most in the water dropper system?
