Unit 4 Lesson17 Investigating static electricity
Keywords:
Static electricity: Electricity which is not moving is called static
electricity. It stays in one place.
Doorknob: A handle on a door.
Tumble drier: Dry (washed clothes) by spinning them in hot air inside
a dryer.
Lump: A mass of indefinite shape and size.
Attract: Pull towards or together.
Repel: Push apart.
Charge: The property of particles that makes them attract or repel
the electric force; charge may be positive or negative.
Electrons: The atomic particles with a negative charge that carry an
electric current in a metal. Static electricity results from
the transfer of electrons from one substance to another.
They revolve around the nucleus of an atom.
Protons: Positively charged particles. They are present in the nucleus
of an atom.
Neutrons: Neutral particles (without any charge ).They are also
present in the nucleus of an atom.
Qno,7: What is the state of a normal atom?
Ans: A normal atom is neutral. It means the number of protons
equals to the number of electrons. So the amount of positive
charge equals to the amount of negative charge.
Qno,8: What will happen when we rub two different materials
together?
Ans: When we rub two different materials together, electrons jump
from one of the material and move to the other one.
Qno,9: If we rub two materials together and one becomes negatively
charged, what happens to the other?
Ans: The other becomes positively charged.
Qno,10: Which has more electrons, a balloon with a positive charge
or a balloon with a negative charge?
Ans: : A balloon with a negative charge.
