Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If you rub a balloon on your hair and the balloon becomes charged negatively, which material must have lost electrons? Explain why.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the definitions of positive and negative charges.

Question 2

Create a mini-experiment where you test the triboelectric series using different materials. Document which materials gain or lose electrons when rubbed together.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the series to predict the outcomes before testing them.
