What is static electricity also known as? - answer Stationary electricity What is the difference between the movement of the charges in an electrical circuit and electrical charges? - answer When powered, the charges in an electrical circuit move constantly. In electrical charges, the charge is only moved when it is touched. What is electrification? - answer The removal or addition of electrons. What does the Law of Conversion of Charge state?

  • answer That charges cannot be destroyed but only separated. What happens when a negatively charged balloon is held near neutral papers? - answer The paper is polarised as its electrons are repelled away from its protons. (The balloon's electrons repelled the papers electrons). The paper's protons are left exposed so the paper's protons and the negatively charged balloon's electrons will attract one another. This causes the side of the paper with the protons to stick to the balloon.
