Defining Characteristics of the Electric Charge Interaction
Hypothesis: Our group thought that, the balloon would attract the foil pieces but not the paper pieces.(summer)
Today in the lab, our group tested the effects of an electric charged object with a non-electric charged object. Also we tested what happened when two electric charged objects were near each other. First, to test the effects with an electrically charged, and a non-electrically charged object, we blew up a balloon, and rubbed wool over a specific section to make that part electrically charged.Second, we ripped up small pieces of paper, (non-charged, and non-magnetic) and tin-foil (non-charged, and magnetic). Third, we slowly moved the balloon back and forth over both the tin-foil and the paper. In our data table, it shows the effects on both the tin-foil and the paper. Both the tin-foil and the paper floated up towards the balloon by electric
charge.(Courtney C.)

Result: Ascend

(Blaise) Hypothesis: Our group thought that the two balloons would attract and shock each other due to the charge in both of them.(Summer)
After that experiment was conducted, we began to perform another one, regarding electric-charged interaction. We rubbed a wool cloth over the two balloons, and when we situated the two balloons near each other, they both repelled in opposite directions. (as if two North/North or South/South magnets were placed by each other)(Courtney C.) This shows that the charged objects are only attracted to the non-charged objects, such as the tin foil and paper. (like the North and South parts of magnets) It also shows that charged objects are almost like magnets.(Summer) Due to this, we conclude that just like magnets, when two same electic charges are near each other they push away. When two different electric chargers are near each other they attract (even with non-magnetic material).(Patrick)
