If the floor that the metal block is on has no friction, in which direction would it move?

Plastic Strip

Metal Block

If the floor that the metal block is on has no friction, in which direction would it move? The block would move to the left because it is attracted to the plastic strip.

Why would the charges distribute like they are shown?

Plastic Strip

Metal Block

Why would the charges distribute like they are shown? The electrons in the metal block are repelled by the electrons on the plastic strip, and the positive charges in the metal block are attracted to the plastic strip.

Why did the motor that we built change direction when the magnet was flipped?

Why did the motor that we built change direction when the magnet was flipped?•The coil & battery make a magnetic field that pushes on one side of the coil and pulls on the other side of the coil.•By flipping the block magnet, the forces are reversed and the coil rotation is also reversed.

Why do metal dishes lift off from the Van de Graff generator, but the plastic dishes don’t?

Why do metal dishes lift off from the Van de Graff generator, but the plastic dishes don’t?

The metal dishes can accumulate charge on their surface and inside them. Plastic dishes can only accumulate charges on their surface. Only the metal dishes have enough repulsion to overcome gravity.
