Materials A metal cup A hard plastic rod and fur A metallic ball suspended by a thread Questions: (as continuation to the previous questions) Suppose that the cup is used to shield the ball while not being allowed to contact your bare hand or other electrical conductor. (Perhaps you wear a rubber glove or hold it with a non-conductor) Will the shielding effect be the same? Before you try it predict what will happen and explain Try the experiment without touching the can with your hand or any other electrical conductor. Was your prediction verified or not?

question 13
Lightning- current A Figure above indicates one reason no one should stand under a tree during a lightning storm. If lightning comes down the side of the tree, a portion can jump over to the person, especially if the current on the tree reaches a dry region on the bark and thereafter must travel through air to reach the ground. In the figure, part of the lightning jumps through distance d in air and then travels through the person (who has negligible resistance relative to that of air because of the highly conducting salty fluids within the body). The rest of the current travels through air alongside the tree, for a distance h. If d/h = 0.49 and the total current is I=0 1637 A, what is the current I, = A through the person?
A piece of cotton and a piece of synthetic rubber are rubbed together, and the cotton is touched against a neutral pithball. Next, in a separate experiment, silk and ebonite are rubbed together. The rubbed piece of silk is brought near the topof a metal wand electroscope and the electroscope is charged permanently by induction. When the pith ball is broughtnear the bulb of the electroscope, what type of behavior would it show? Explain your answer.

1) Forgetting the fact that it would be difficult to detect, if you turn on any electrical device in your car (such as air conditioner blower, headlights, or even the radio) then additional gasoline is burned by the engine. This statement is a) always true. b) true only if the car's engine is running while the electrical device is on. c) true only if the car's engine is stopped while the electrical device is on. d) never true. The energy for electrical devices in your automobile has nothing to do with the amount of gasoline your engine burns f) true in conventional cars, but not in hybrid electric cars.
