G3 Pure Physics / O‑Level Physics: Static Electricity structured questions
Structured and data-based Paper 2 practice for static electricity: charges, field patterns, charging by rubbing/induction, and electrostatic hazards and applications.
Learning objectives
- state that there are positive and negative charges and that charge is measured in coulombs
- state that unlike charges attract and like charges repel
- Describe an electric field as a region where charge experiences force
- Recall that the field lines of an isolated point charge give the direction of the force on a positive test charge
- Draw the directed electric field of an isolated point charge
- Interpret the electric-field pattern between two isolated point charges
- Draw the electric-field pattern between two isolated point charges
- Explain charging by rubbing as electron transfer
- Describe experiments that charge a conductor by induction
- Describe potential electrostatic-charging hazards
- Describe an electrostatic precipitator and transfer the principle
