    Electricity and Magnetism Study Guide

    Due 12/17/2019
    1.) What causes a balloon to be drawn towards/stick to a sweater? What causes your hair to stand
    as you bring a charged balloon towards it?
    -The balloon and the sweater/hair have opposite charges
    2.) Describe the charges of the pictures below:

    The objects are attracted to each The objects are repelling each other
    Other (opposite charge) (same charge)
    3.) Fill in the blanks for the following sentence: Materials with opposite charges are attracted to
    each other while materials with the same charge are repelled from each other.
    4.) After walking across the carpet to open your bedroom door you feel a shock on your hand.
    What caused the shock?

    -Discharge of electricity from your hand

    5.) What is friction? Provide an example

    -At item becoming charged by rubbing against another item. Ex: Clothes sticking together in dryer,
    rubbing your feet against the carpet/rug

    6.) What is conduction? Provide an example

    -An item becoming charged through direct contact. Ex:

    7.) What is induction? Provide an example

    -An item charging through indirect contact. Ex: Rubbing a balloon against your leg then holding it
    near your hair and your hair sticks up

    8.) How does an electroscope work?


    9.) What is a conductor?

    -Allows electrons to move more easily

    10.) What is an insulator?

    -Does NOT allow electrons to move easily

    11.) An object is magnetized when its domains are aligned.


    12.) If the poles of two magnets are attracted to each other what can you infer?

    -They are opposites (one is north pole one is a south pole)

    13.) What is a solenoid?


    Electricity and Magnetism Study Guide
    Due 12/17/2019
    -The part of the electromagnet where the wire is coiled

    14.) What is an electromagnet?

    -A magnet that requires a power source

    15.) How can you increase the strength of an electromagnet?

    -Using a higher voltage battery or increasing the number of coils

    16.) What is a solenoid?

    -Duplicate question, look at #13

    17.) What is the difference in an electric motor an a generator?

    -An electric motor converts electricity to mechanical energy. A generator converts mechanical
    energy to electricity
