- 1What happens when you rub two different insulating materials against each other?They become electrically charged.
- 2What does this only work for?Insulated materials.
- 3What are negatively charge particles called?Electrons
- 4Where do they move?From one material to the other.
- 5The material that loses electrons becomes...Positively charged.
- 6The material that gains electrons...becomes negatively charged.
- 7Both materials gain an equal amount of charge but...the charges are opposite.
- 8When will two charged objects repel each other?If they have the same type of charge.
- 9When will two charged opposite attract each other?When they have opposite charges.
- 10When can you tell if an object is charged?By seeing if it repels another charged object.
