An object with a known charge is first brought close to the ball so as to induce the opposite charge. Lets say we brought a positive object, so the ball will be negatively charged. Afterwards, the object with the unknown charge is brought closer. If the ball is attracted, then the object is positively charged and if it is repelled then the object is negatively charged.

A hockey puck wont slide very far on concrete or asphalt, but it will slide for a very long time on ice. Why is this?
Ilya [14]
When hockey players push the puck along the ice it slides causing heat which melts the ice causing the friction against the ice to be less.

A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 55 mA passes near the heart. An electrician working with sweaty hands
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.

Explanation:

To discover what is the lethal voltage to the electrician we need to find out what is the voltage that produces 55 mA = 0.055 A when across a resistance of 2300 Ohms (Electrician's body resistancy). For that we'll use Ohm's Law wich is expressed by the following equation:

V = i*R

Where V is the voltage we want to find out, i is the current wich is lethal to the electrician and R is his body resistance. By applying the given values we have:

V = 0.055*2300 = 126.5 V.

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.
