Electrostatic Charging

This document discusses electrostatic charging and how objects gain or lose charge through friction. It explains that electrons are negatively charged and found outside the atom's nucleus, while protons are positively charged and located within the nucleus. It also notes that objects become negatively charged when they gain electrons and positively charged when they lose electrons. The document then lists several pairs of materials and asks whether they would become positively or negatively charged if rubbed together. Finally, it includes incomplete diagrams about charging by induction and asks the reader to fill in the blanks.

Electrostatic Charging

I. Fill in the following blanks with the word electrons or protons.


_________________ are negatively charged and ________________ are positively charged. The
________________ is found in the nuclues of the atoms and are tightly bound; they will never leave
an atom as a result of electrostatic procedures. On the other hand, ______________ are located
outside the nucleus and are easily removed from or added to atoms. As an object begins to gain
electrons it becomes _____________ (positively/negatively) charged. When it loses electrons it
becomes _____________ (positively/negatively) charged. A negatively charged object has more
____________ than ________________. A positively vharged object has more ________________
than _______________.

II. Determine how the charge will be affected if the following materials are rubbed together.

Positively charged Negatively charged


1. wool and fur
2. your hand and your hair
3. paper and glass
4. PVC and nylon
5. silk and cotton
