Question

7. What determines whether a charged object gains or loses electrons?

8. Which is more likely to generate static electricity—rubbing Teflon and styrene or rubbing styrene and rabbit fur? Explain.

9. Under what environmental conditions are you most likely to generate static electricity?

10. How is the charge on a charged object maintained?

11. How is a static charge dissipated?

Answer 1

7

there are two types of charged objects... one with excess negative charge and one with excess positive charge.. so what do you think ?

8.. there is something called as triboelectric series..

9.. Static electricity best works when the insulating property of the surrounding is very high. so think during what weather conditions air acts like an awesome insulator, and during what conditions, the insulating property of the air is weakened

10.
I really don't understand the question :P..

11.. Here i ll directly give the answer, there are two phenomenon called as breakdown, and corona discharge, look it up!

Answer 2

10.As long as the object is not grounded in some way the object should keep its charge
