    Static electricity Worksheet

    1.
    The diagram represents the
    interaction of charged spheres that
    you have observed.

    Which of the following statements


    describes the situation in the
    diagram?

    A) The right-hand sphere is charged positively and the left-hand sphere negatively.
    B) The two spheres are both electrically neutral.
    C) The right-hand sphere is charged negatively and the left-hand sphere positively.
    D) The two spheres both carry the same electrical charge.

    2. You are given five electrically charged spheres and told that sphere 4 is positively charged. The
    following diagrams show what happens to these spheres when they are suspended in pairs close to
    each other. What are the charges of the other spheres?

    3. A student was given four electrically charged spheres.


    The following diagrams show what happened when these spheres were suspended in pairs close to
    each other.

    1 2 1 3 2 4

    1. A positively charged rod touches sphere M.
    2. Sphere N is moved away from sphere M.
    3. The charged rod is moved away.

    + +
    + ++
    + M N M N M N

    1 2 3

    What are the charges on the spheres M and N after the operations?
    A) Negative for sphere M, positive for sphere N
    B) Negative for sphere M, no charge for sphere N
    C) Negative for spheres M and N
    D) Positive for spheres M and N

    B) You touched only one styrofoam ball with a strip of vinyl that had been rubbed with a woollen cloth.
    C) You touched one of the styrofoam balls with a strip of vinyl that had been rubbed with a woollen cloth
    and touched the other with the woollen cloth.
    D) You touched both styrofoam balls with your hand.
