- 1What happens when you rub two insulating materials together?Electrons may be transferred from one material to the other. This will leave once positive static charge on one and a negative static charge on the other.
- 2Why can only electrons be transferred from one material to another?Protons are fixed in the nucleus.
- 3If the charges are the same as each other on two objects they will.....Repel
- 4If the charges on two objects are different to each other they will......Attract.
- 5What is lightning caused by?Charged particles floating through the atmosphere- rain drops and ice bump together inside storm clouds, knocking off electrons and leaving the top of the cloud positively charge and the bottom of the cloud negatively. This creates a huge voltage and a spark.
