PRACTICE WORKSHEET
Std.: VIII Electricity Subject – Physics

1. John is investigating the charge on several objects and makes the following findings.
Object C Object D Object E Object F
attracts B repels C attracts D attracts A
repels F

John knows that object A is negatively charged and object B is electrically neutral. What can
John definitively conclude about the charge on objects C, D, E, and F? Explain.

2. Which of the following are true of static charges? Choose all that apply.

a. Like charges repel.


b. Like charges attract.
c. Opposite charges repel.
d. Opposite charges attract.
e. A positively charged object has lost electrons.
f. A positively charged object has gained protons.
g. A negatively charged object has lost protons.
h. A negatively charged object has gained electrons.

3. Consider the following statements given below and determine if the charge of Object A is:
a. positive b. negative c. neutral

i. Object A is charged by friction using animal fur. Animal fur has a greater electron affinity than
object A.
ii. Object A is charged by contact using a negatively charged object.

iii. Object A is charged by induction using a positively charged object.

iv. Object A is used to charge an aluminium plate by the method of induction. The aluminium
plate acquires a positive charge.

v. Object A is used to charge an aluminium plate by the method of induction. The aluminium
plate acquires a negative charge.

vi. A rubber rod has a greater electron affinity than animal fur. The rubber rod is charged by
friction with animal fur. The rubber rod is then used to charge Object A by the method of
contact.
vii. A rubber rod has a greater electron affinity than animal fur. The rubber rod is charged by
friction with animal fur. The rubber rod is then used to charge Object A by the method of
induction.

viii. A rubber rod has a greater electron affinity than animal fur. The rubber rod is charged by
friction with animal fur. The rubber rod is then used to charge an aluminium pop can by the
process of induction. The pop can is then contacted to object A.

4. Charged balloons are used to induce a charge upon neutral metal pop cans. Identify the type
of excess charge which would be present on cans G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N and P as shown in the
diagrams below.

Diagram Type of Charge on...

G: ____
I.
H: ____

I: ____
II.
J: ____

K: ____

II. L: ____

M: ____

IV. N: ____

V. P: ____

5. Name one device used in the kitchen to provide an electric discharge.
