Does nylon or wool create a stronger static electric charge?
In this experiment, you will create an electric charge in nylon, which is a synthetic fiber, and in wool, a natural fiber. Then you will measure the strength of each charge, using the electroscope you built in Experiment 1 or using an alternative procedure. Before you begin, make an educated guess about the outcome of this experiment based on your understanding of static electricity. This educated guess, or prediction, is your hypothesisAn idea in the form of a statement that can be tested by observation and/or experiment.. A hypothesis should explain these things: • the topic of the experiment • the variable you will change • the variable you…
