Electricity Review 1d Answers

This document summarizes an exam review for a Grade 9 science class on physics and static electricity. It includes definitions of key terms like positive and negative charge, as well as descriptions of how objects become charged through contact or induction. It also provides examples of using the GRASP problems solving method to calculate current, voltage, resistance and missing values in circuit diagrams. Sample questions assess knowledge of topics like the behavior of leaves in an electroscope near different charges and determining the resulting charge when different materials are rubbed together.

Grade 9 Science EXAM REVIEW – PHYSICS Answers

1. Complete the following paragraphs on static electricity:

The law of attraction and repulsion states that unlike charges will _attract_ one another whereas like charges will _repel_
one another. These charges were named _positive_ and _negative_. An object with more negative charges than positive
charges is said to be _negatively_ charged. An object with more positive charges than negative charges is said to be
_positively_ charged. Neutral objects have _equal numbers of positive and negative charges.

Charging by _contact_ involves rubbing two neutral objects together. They become
_electrically_ charged (one loses electrons and one gains electrons). Charging by contact involves touching a _neutral_
object to a _charged_ object. The neutral object takes on the same charge as the charged object. Charging by _contact__
occurs when a charged object is placed near a grounded neutral object. The neutral objects takes on the opposite charge of
the charged object.

2. A metal leaf electroscope can detect the presence of charge. Describe what will happen
to the leaves of the electroscope when:
a) a negatively charged rod is brought near an uncharged electroscope
leaves move farther apart

b) a positively charged rod is brought near an uncharged electroscope


leaves move closer together

3. Fill in the missing information in the table below. The first one has been completed:

QUANTITY SYMBOL UNIT Unit symbol


current I ampere A
voltage V volt V
resistance R ohm Ω

Use the GRASP method to answer the questions 4-12 in your notebook:

4. What current is drawn by a vacuum cleaner from a 120 V circuit having a resistance of 28 Ω?
G: V = 120 V, R = 28 Ω
R: I = ?
A: I = V/R
S: I = 120V / 28 Ω
= 4.29 A
P: Therefore the current drawn is 4.29 A.

5. What voltage will a battery have if it runs a 2.4 Ω motor with a current of 2.5 A?
G: R = 2.4 Ω, I = 2.5 A
R: V = ?
A: V = IR
S: V = (2.5A)(2.4 Ω)
V = 6 V
P: Therefore the battery will have a voltage of 6 V.

6. A walkie talkie receiver operates on a 9.0 V battery. If the receiver draws 300 mA of current what is its resistance?
G: V = 9.0 V, I = 0.300 A
R: R = ?
A: R = V/I
S: R = 9.0 V/0.300 A
R = 30 Ω
P: Therefore, the walkie talkie has a resistance of 30 Ω.
7. Define the following terms:

conductor a material which permits the flow of electricity

insulator a material which restricts the flow of electricity

ammeter an electrical instrument which measures current

voltmeter an electrical instrument which measures voltage

current the flow of electrical charge per second

potential difference the amount of work energy required to move an electric


charge from one point to another.
resistor an electrical instrument that limits or regulates the flow
of electrical current in an electronic circuit.
8. What are the four main parts to every circuit? What is the function of each part?
Power source, connectors (wire), load (motor or light bulb), switch

9 a) Draw the circuit diagram symbol for each of the following:

battery

light bulb

resistor

ammeter

Voltmeter

switch (open)

b) Draw an electric circuit (circuit diagram) consisting of a battery, 3 light bulbs in series,
a switch, an ammeter and a voltmeter which is measuring the voltage drop across the
first light bulb.

c) Draw an electric circuit (circuit diagram) consisting of a battery, 2 resistors in parallel,


a switch, an ammeter and a voltmeter which is measuring the voltage drop across the
power source.

A V
10. Calculate the missing currents and potential differences in each of the following
diagrams:
a) V = 10 V
1

V = 20 V2 = 5 V
V

V3 = _5 V
b)

I= 2 A I= 0.3 A I= I= _1.0_
0.7 A
A

11. Demonstrate (using drawings) how you would charge an electroscope in the following ways:
12. Using the electrostatic series, determine the resulting charge if the following items are rubbed together

a) ebonite negative and silk positive

b) Fur positive and rubber negative

c) Gold negative and sulfur positive

d) Cotton negative and glass positive

e) What force is causing the change in charge?
