Sol Worksheet Chapter 12

The document is a physics worksheet about electric charges. It contains two sections: Section A contains multiple choice questions about charging objects with static electricity. Section B contains short answer questions about charging conducting and insulating objects. The key points are: 1) A polythene rod becomes negatively charged when rubbed with cloth due to electron transfer. 2) Oppositely charged objects repel, while like charges attract. 3) Charging conducting objects by induction can lead to opposite surface charges forming.

Electric Charges

Section A
1. A polythene rod is rubbed with a cloth.

The rod and the cloth both become charged as electrons move between them.
The rod becomes negatively charged.
Which diagram shows how the rod becomes negatively charged, and the final
charge on the cloth?

2. A polythene rod repels an inflated balloon hanging from a nylon thread.


Why do the rod and balloon repel?
A. The rod and the balloon have opposite charges.
B. The rod and the balloon have like charges.
C. The rod is charged but the balloon is not.
D. The balloon is charged but the rod is not.
3. Diagram 1 shows two thin, uncharged strips of plastic.
Diagram 2 shows the same strips after they have been rubbed with a dry cloth.

Which row describes the charge on the strips after rubbing, and the force
between the strips after rubbing?

4. Two balloons, X and Y, are suspended by insulating threads. They are each held
near a negatively charged balloon. The balloons hang as shown.

What is the charge on balloon X and what is the charge on balloon Y?


5. Two similar balloons hang side by side, on insulating threads, a short distance
apart. They are both rubbed with the same dry cloth and become charged.
Which diagram shows how the balloons hang after charging?

Section B
1. A metal sphere, mounted on an insulating plastic stand, is positively charged.
(a) State the name of the unit in which electric charge is measured.
Coulomb [1]
(b) A smaller metal sphere, also mounted on an insulating plastic stand, is
uncharged.
This smaller sphere is moved close to the positively charged sphere. Fig. 1.1
shows the two spheres.

Fig. 1.1
(i) On Fig. 1.1, draw the distribution of charge on the smaller sphere. [2]
(ii) An earthed metal wire is touched against the smaller metal sphere.
State and explain what happens to the charge on the smaller sphere.
It becomes positively charged.
Because the electrons from the metal sphere will be transferred to the ground. [2]
(c) Explain, in terms of their structures, why the metal wire is an electrical
conductor, but the plastic stand is an electrical insulator.
As metal contains free electrons that is why metal wire is an electrical conductor,
but the plastic does not contain free electrons so plastic stand is an insulator. [2]
[Total: 7]
2. A plastic rod is rubbed with a cloth and becomes positively charged. After
charging, the rod is held close to the suspended table-tennis ball shown in
Fig. 2.1. The table-tennis ball is covered with metal paint and is uncharged.

Fig. 2.1
(a) Describe what happens to the charges in the metal paint on the ball as the
positively charged rod is brought close to the ball.
The charges of the tennis ball rearrange themselves, negative will be
attracted to the rod and positive will be repelled to other side. [1]
(b) The ball is attracted towards the charged rod.
Explain why this happens, given that the ball is uncharged.
Because of electrostatic induction, the charges of the tennis ball rearrange
themselves, positive will be repelled to other side negative will be attracted to
the rod. [2]
(c) State the unit in which electric charge is measured.
Coulomb [1]
