    1) Electrostatic charge can be hazardous in flammable gases, and its buildup can be prevented with a conductor or earthing strip. 2) There are 1 million microcoulombs in 1 coulomb. 3) A charged rod held near an insulated metal can induces opposite charges on the can, attracting it to the rod even though the can's net charge is zero. Touching the can causes electrons to flow into the body, leaving the can with a net positive charge.

    02 – Electric Charge (2) Student: _____________________________________

    1. a. Give an example of where electrostatic charge might be a hazard


    flammable gases ✓
    b. How can the build-up of electrostatic charge be prevented?
    With a conductor ✓ +or an earthing strip
    2. How many microcoulombs are there in one coulomb?
    1*10^-6 C ✓ +or one millionth
    3. On the right, a charged rod is held close to a metal can. The can is on an
    insulated stand.
    4. a. Copy the diagram. Draw in any induced charges on
    the can.
    (I did this on a piece of paper)
    b. Why is the can attracted to the rod even though the
    net (overall) charge
    on the can is zero?

    c. If you touch the can with your finger, electrons flow


    through it. In which
    direction is the flow?
    Into the body ✓
    d. What type of charge is left on the can after it has been touched?
