Physics Worksheet

The document contains two passages about electricity lessons: 1) The first passage discusses a balloon experiment where a balloon rubbed against clothes sticks to a wall. It explains that rubbing the balloon gives it a negative charge, and the positively charged wall attracts the negatively charged balloon due to opposite charges. 2) The second passage contains a worksheet about atoms, defining them as made up of protons, electrons, and neutrons. It notes atoms are neutral due to equal numbers of protons and electrons, and removing an electron leaves a positively charged ion.

Electricity

Lesson 1 9.1 Electrostatic phenomena Worksheet 9.1.1



The balloon experiment
Fill this box in at the start of the lesson:

If you rub a balloon against your clothes and put it near a wall, so that it is
touching, then it will stick to the wall.
Explain why. when you rub the balloon, it will be negatively charged.
When it is put near a positively charged wall, the balloon
will be attracted to the wall because the charge on balloon
and the wall is opposite

Fill this box in at the end of the lesson.

You have now investigated why the balloon experiment works.

Comment on your explanation from the start of the lesson:


I have explained that the balloon will be attracted to the wall because the balloon is
negatively charged and the wall is poisitively charged. If two objects have opposing
charges, they will attract. Therefore, the balloon will be attracted with the wall

What is the best explanation of the balloon experiment?


the water bends because its charge is the opposite of the balloon.

Atoms – what do you know?
Here is a picture of a carbon atom.

Complete the sentences below:


protons
All atoms are made up of three particles. There are _______________ which are
positive, _______________
eletrons which are negative, and _______________
neutrons which
have no charge.

The centre of the atom is called the _______________.


nucleus

Atoms are not charged so the numbers of _______________


portons and
_______________
electrons is the same. If you remove an electron the atom becomes an
ion which is will have a positive charge.

This is a carbon atom. Different atoms have different numbers of


_______________
protons neutrons and electrons
and _______________.
