PHYS-1307 6172-21542 | GIZMOS | Student Exploration: Coulomb Force (Static). Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Have you ever taken clothes out of the dryer and found a sock stuck to your underwear? Static cling is an example of electrostatic forces, or the forces that exist between charged objects. 1. How do you think the sock and underwear became charged? The sock and the underwear became charged because they have different charges. 2. Suppose two socks acqui...
