9.1 Types of Electric Charge
They are the negatively charged particles in a material.
What are electrons?
An electroscope becomes charged when it is touched by a positively charged object. What kind of charging is this?
What is conduction?
What is a friction between the rubber band and the foam roller?
What would happen between these two objects?

What is a attraction?
It is the induced charge on the surface of the Earth just before lightning strikes.
What is a positive charge?
And objects has gained electrons. What charge is it said to have?
What is negative.
When a negatively charged object is brought near the ball of an electroscope, this is the charge on the metal leaves.
What is negative?
What happens in the head of the VandeGraff generator to produce a charge in the metal ball?
What is conduction between the ball and the band.

What is Attraction?
It is the result of walking on the carpet with socks
What is charging by friction
These kinds of charges attract.
What are different charges?
Cotton becomes charged after rubbing nylon and cotton together. What is this an example of?
What is friction.
What law explains why your hair stands on end when you are connected to the Vande Graff generator?
What is the law of repulsion?

What is repulsion?
You have spilled a bunch of pieces of paper on the ground. It sure would be a pain to pick them all up... could you use a balloon to make your life easier? How would you do it?
Charge up the balloon using friction so the pieces of paper will be attracted to it.
The charge on an object with fewer electrons than protons.
What is a positive charge?
You shuffle across the carpet and when you touch the metal doorknob you feel a shock. It's what causes the shock.
What is a transfer of electric charge?
Why will a charge not build up if you are standing on the ground?
What is grounding. The charges travel straight into the ground instead of building up.
What is the law of repulsion?
An object with an equal number of protons and electrons is said to have this kind of charge.
What is neutral?
A negatively charged object is brought near the left side of a metal sphere. What is the charge on the right side of the sphere?
What is a negative charge?
What is the charges will rearrange.
This law describes what happens between opposite charged objects
What is the law of attraction?
