Answer:

B) repel each other.

Explanation:

The Van de Graaff generator works by generating net positive charges. Consequently, any material that comes in contact with the electrostatic generator ends up becoming positively charged.

When a human touches the generator, such human also becomes positively charged including every strand of hair on the person's head.

According to Coulomb's law of electric forces, like charges repel one another while unlike charges attract. <em>Hence, the positively charged hair strands try to stay as far away from one another as possible in accordance with Coulomb's law which manifests as 'standing up of hair strands'</em>.

The correct option is B.

Explain the process of how James Chadwick found the neutron.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Discovery of neutron

Explanation:

Until 1932, the atom was believed to be composed of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons, after successful discovery of electron by J.J. Thompson and proton by  Ernest Rutherford.

In 1932, James Chadwick bombarded beryllium atoms with alpha particles.

As Chadwick had previously seen in experiment conducted by Frédéric and Irène Joliot-Curie, they had bombarded a sample of beryllium with alpha radiation.

Chadwick repeated the experiment and observed an unknown radiation, this showed no deflection what-so-ever.

He repeated this experiment by bombarding other materials, like helium, nitrogen and lithium,

Finally, Chadwick found that this radiation was composed of particles with a neutral electrical charge and had approximate mass of a proton.

This particle was then known as the neutron.
