Static Electricity
Clothing sticking together after being taken out of a dryer.
What is an example of charging by friction?
Particles that make up all matter
Atoms
A property of the space around a charged object
Electric field
removal of charges from an object
discharge
The thought that properties of a material will always remain the same regardless of how small the pieces become.
What is the continuous model of matter?
The buildup of charged particles.
What is static electricity?
An object generates this charge if it is rubbed with a piece of cloth that has a weaker hold on its electrons.
What is a negative charge?
What will make the most static electricity, rabbit fur or cotton?
Rabbit fur
A device that accumulates very large charges
The Van de Graaff Generator
When this happens to an object it becomes neutral
grounding
the increase in weight of the syringe when air was allowed into the syringe is proof of this.
Air has mass
Electrical energy is based on this ability of atoms.
What is the ability to gain or lose electrons?
Two oppositely charged objects will do this
Repel
A change in the motion and/or shape of an object is caused by
Force
A metal that is attached to the highest point of a building
lightening rod
All materials are made of a collection of smaller particles that group or stick together
What is the particle model of matter
Two oppositely charged objects will do this.
What is attract?
The three ways that static electricity can be generated?
Charging by friction, contact, induction
What will build up the most charge, rabbit fur on a metal rod or rabbit fur on a glass rod?
Rabbit fur on the glass rod.
For an attractive force, arrows always point in which direction
toward each other
a way of charging by rubbing different objects
Friction
difficulty in pushing the syringe in when the stopper was placed on the tip was evidence of this.
what is air takes up space?
What is electrostatic series chart?
When a charged balloon is brought near a neutral wall it sticks because the this charge.
What is the relationship between static electricity and lightening?
Lightening is a type of static electricity
Electric fields point in which direction when a negative (-) charge is present
toward the negative charge
People who assemble electronic equipment must be
grounded
The alcohol and water mixture observation was proof of this model of matter.
What is the Particle Model of matter?
