Lesson 4 - Static Electricity

When 2 _________ objects are rubbed together one of those materials is going to be more willing to give up electrons.

Some objects have a strong affinity for electrons and gain them more readily

While other objects have less of an _________ for electrons and hold them weaker.

You can create a charge in a neutral object by bring a charged object close to it.

This is a ______________ occurrence, because no electrons are transferred and neutrality returns when the charged object is removed.

Induction charging will always attract a neutral object.

Conduction occurs when you have a neutral object come in ___________________ with a charged object

We consider conduction charging __________________ because there is a transfer of electrons.

Whatever the charge of the charged object will be what is __________________ to the neutral object.

This is the removal of a charge by producing a conductive path to the ground.

The Earth is unique in that it will accept and give electrons to neutralise objects.

Electrons will move from a negatively charged object to the ground until neutral

Electrons will move from the ground to neutralise positively charged objects.
