Physics Weekly Worksheet G8 PB Static Electricity

This document is a physics worksheet on static electricity that contains multiple choice and essay questions. The multiple choice questions test understanding of concepts like the SI unit of electric charge, charging of materials like glass and rubber through friction, the differences between conductors and insulators, and the movement of charges. The essay questions require completing tables, explaining diagrams of charged conductors discharging, describing conditions of charged spheres, stating properties of insulators and conductors, and drawing electric field patterns.
