Normally a small party balloon charged to several thousand volts will have a relatively small amount of
A) charge and energy.
B) energy.
C) charge
D) neither charge or energy.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A small party balloon charged to several thousand volts will indeed have a relatively small amount of both charge and energy. The high voltage indicates a high potential difference, but the actual amount of charge (and thus the energy, since energy is related to both charge and voltage) that a small balloon can hold is limited due to its size and the properties of the materials involved.
