  • True
  • False

Question 8

Question
What has to happen for static electricity to be produced?
Answer
  • Electrons transfer from one non-electrically charged material to another non-electrically charged material
  • Protons are removed from the nucleus of a material
  • Neutrons are added to the outer electron ring of a material

Question 9

Answer
  • Positive charge
  • Negative charge
  • No charge

Question
What kind of materials repel each other?
Answer
  • Two uncharged materials
  • Two materials with the same type of charge
  • Two materials with a different type of charge

Question 13

Question
What would be the difference in attraction with these two examples? If a charged ebonite rod was placed next to a charged Perspex rod and if a charged Perspex rod was placed next to another charged Perspex rod
Answer
  • The charged ebonite rod and the charged Perspex rod would attract and the two charged Perspex rods would repel
  • The charged ebonite rod and the charged Perspex rod would repel and the two charged Perspex rods would attract
  • Both of the examples would repel each other
