Electricity

The buildup of charges on an object is called...

• static discharge.

• static electricity.

• positive charge.

• negative charge.

Electric charges that are different or opposite...

• attract each other.

• repel each other.

• exist in pairs.

• do not interact.

The charge on a proton is...

• negative, and the charge on an electron is positive.

• positive, and the charge on an electron is negative.

• the same as the charge on an electron.

• always greater than the charge on an electron.

The sudden loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another is called...

• friction.

• conduction.

• induction.

• static discharge.

What type of charge moves in current electricity?

• positive

• negative

• neutral

When two objects are rubbed together, some electrons from one object can move onto the other object in a process called...

• insulation

• friction

• static electricity

When charged objects react to each other without touching it is referred to as... (Hint: charging the balloon and making the pop can move without touching it is an example)
