Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and
prompts in the orange boxes.
Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.). Have you ever taken clothes
out of the dryer and found a sock stuck to your underwear? Static cling is an example of
electrostatic forces, or the forces that exist between charged objects.
1. How do you think the sock and underwear became charged?
The speed of the dryer.
2. Suppose two socks acquire the same charge. Do you think they would stick together? Explain:
No. Opposite attraction.
Gizmo Warm-up
As clothes are tumbled in a dryer, electrons are
rubbed off some items, giving them a positive
charge, and deposited on other items, giving them a
negative charge. These charged items exert
electrostatic forces on one another.
You can explore these forces with the Coulomb Force
(Static) Gizmo.
In its initial settings, the Gizmo shows two objects that each have a charge (q) of 10.0 × 10-4 C
(coulombs). Turn on the Show force vector checkboxes for objects A and B. The arrows coming
from each object are vectors that represent the electrostatic force. The direction and length of
each vector show the direction and magnitude (strength) of each force.
1. Are the vectors for objects A and B pointing together or away from each other?
Away
2. Are objects A and B attracted together or repelled apart?
Repelled apart
3. Compare the lengths of the vectors. What do you notice?
