1. Sketch each of the following showing the positive and negative charges; (3) a. A balloon that is neutrally charged b. A rubber duck that is negatively charged c. A wool sweater that is positively charged

Here are sketches representing the charge distributions:<br /><br />**a. Neutrally Charged Balloon:**<br /><br />```<br /> +<br /> - +<br />+ -<br /> - +<br /> - <br /> Balloon<br />```<br /><br />A neutrally charged balloon has an equal number of positive and negative charges distributed evenly throughout. While individual protons (+) and electrons (-) exist, the overall charge is balanced, resulting in no net charge.<br /><br />**b. Negatively Charged Rubber Duck:**<br /><br />```<br /> -<br /> - -<br />- -<br /> - -<br /> -<br />Rubber Duck<br />```<br /><br />A negatively charged rubber duck has an excess of electrons (-). These extra electrons are distributed across the surface of the duck.<br /><br />**c. Positively Charged Wool Sweater:**<br /><br />```<br /> +<br /> + +<br />+ +<br /> + +<br /> +<br />Wool Sweater<br />```<br /><br />A positively charged wool sweater has a deficiency of electrons. This means it has more protons (+) than electrons (-). These excess positive charges are distributed across the surface of the sweater. It's important to remember that positive charges (protons) are generally fixed within the atoms and don't move around like electrons. A positive charge results from the *removal* of negative electrons.<br />
