Step-by-step solution for: Static Electricity Worksheet for 9th - 12th Grade | Lesson Planet
It seems like you've uploaded a crossword puzzle related to the topic of Static Electricity. Below, I will solve the crossword puzzle and explain the solution for each clue.
---
1. "Charge that builds up on an object"
- This refers to static charge, which is the accumulation of electric charge on an object due to the transfer of electrons.
- Answer: STATIC CHARGE
2. "You can get a shock touching something"
- When you touch a charged object, you may experience a sudden discharge of static electricity, causing a shock.
- Answer: SHOCK
3. "Touching an object with static charge"
- When you touch a charged object, you are grounding it, allowing the excess charge to flow away.
- Answer: GROUNDING
4. "Particles that carry electric charge"
- Electrons are negatively charged particles that can move between objects, causing static electricity.
- Answer: ELECTRONS
5. **"What charges do"
- Charges tend to move from one place to another, especially when there is a difference in potential (voltage).
- Answer: FLOW
6. "Type of particle of matter"
- Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of atoms.
- Answer: PROTONS
7. "Use of static electricity"
- Static electricity has practical applications, such as in photocopiers, where it helps transfer ink onto paper.
- Answer: USEFUL
8. "Charges that build up on objects"
- Static charges accumulate on objects due to the transfer of electrons.
- Answer: BUILD UP
9. "Good conductors"
- Materials that allow electric charges to flow easily are called conductors.
- Answer: CONDUCTORS
10. "Electricity that flows easily"
- Current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
- Answer: CURRENT
11. "Charges that build up on objects"
- Static charges accumulate on objects due to the transfer of electrons.
- Answer: BUILD UP
12. "Something that does not conduct electricity"
- Insulators are materials that do not allow electric charges to flow easily.
- Answer: INSULATORS
13. "Very dangerous ones"
- Lightning is a natural phenomenon caused by static electricity, and it can be very dangerous.
- Answer: LIGHTNING
