read the passage and look at the model. then answer the question. marian the magician is trying a new magic trick. first, she rubs her magic wand and a red straw on her cape. next, she puts the straw on top of a water bottle. marian brings her wand near the straw. the straw moves away from the wand and spins around on the bottle! static electricity makes marians wand repel the straw. both the wand and the straw are charged. the straws charges are not shown. is the straw positively charged or negatively charged? positively charged negatively charged

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall static - electricity rule

Like charges repel each other.

Step2: Analyze the situation

The wand and the straw repel each other. The wand is charged. Since like charges repel, if the wand has a positive charge, the straw is positively charged; if the wand has a negative charge, the straw is negatively charged. The passage doesn't tell us the charge of the wand, but we know from the repulsion that the straw has the same type of charge as the wand.

Answer:

We cannot determine from the given information whether the straw is positively or negatively charged.
