Ans 1. An electrically neutral object has same number of electrons and protons which cancel the effect of each other.
Ans 2. When we rub(shuffle) feet across a carpet, electrons from carpet transfer to our body and hair, as similar charges repel each other thus these negatively charged hair repel
each other and cause hair to stand.
Ans 3. Since neutral objects are also composed of electrons and protons. When a positively charged object is brought near neutral object it behave as negative and when a negative
object is brought near a neutral object it behaves as positive. Thus, neutral objects are always attracted not repelled.
Ans 4. The pieces of paper are initially attracted by the comb because the comb is negatively charged and pieces of paper are neutral. After touching comb these pieces of paper get
charged negatively and then they are repelled by the comb due to same charge on both.
Ans 5. Yes, it is necessary for the charged body to touch the ball of the electroscope because with out touching the ball electrons can’t be transferred.
Ans 6. Electrostatic painting is better than conventional painting due to the following reasons: 1. It is distributed more evenly. 2. It make a stronger bond thus long lasting. 3. It saves
paint by covering more area in less paint
Ans 7. Lightning hits the tallest objects in its path thus lightning rods should be taller than the building they protect.
Ans 8. Plates of capacitors are used for storing charge on them which work on the principle of electrostatic induction. In case of insulting plates, we will not be able to store charge
on them therefor we need conducting plates.
Ans 9. One plate of capacitor is positive and the other is negative. A capacitor stores electrical potential energy b/w its plates in electric field.
Ans 10. To store a large amount of energy I will connect in parallel because Capacitance increases in parallel combination while it decreases in series combination
