Define electricity.

A form of energy resulting from the interaction of charged particles.

15

What is an example of an insulator?

Rubber, paper, tile, plastic, etc.

5

What is the major difference between an insulator and a conductor?

An insulator does not allow electrons to flow, conductors do.

10

True or False: If an insulator gains a charge, the charge tends to stay there.

True

5

Define Static Electricity.

A form of energy where the electric charge rests and accumulates at the surface of an object.

15

What is the name of the sudden shock we feel when we rub our socks on a carpet then touch another object?

Electrostatic discharge

10

What material are good conductors made of?

Metals

10

What does "neutral" mean?

The number of protons equals the number of electrons. / There is no charge.

10

Name one of the three ways to charge an object in static electricity.

Contact / Induction / Friction

5

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.

15

What is an example of an object that is made of both insulators and conductors?

A wire / An airplane

10

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

10

What material is likely to be more negative when charged: fur or cotton?

Cotton
