Marking Scheme: Electricity Quiz

This is the marking scheme for quiz: P5 - Electricity Quiz
Topic guide: P5 - Electricity

Charging by Friction (3 marks)
- Rubbing two materials (e.g., balloon and hair) causes electron transfer (1).
- One material loses electrons and becomes positive; the other gains electrons and becomes negative (1).
- Example: Electrons move from hair to balloon (or vice versa), creating a static charge (1).
Conduction vs Induction (4 marks)
