discussion Video link: https://youtu.be/4S0EBxT60pw (avoid electric shock getting out of a car!) 1.) Watch video and pause at 1:22. When the van de graaff generator is turned on and charge begins to build up on its surface, will the styrofoam fly off the same as the pie plate did? Give a reason why it might and another reason why it might not. 2.) Resume video and pause again at 3:12. The host explained that objects in contact (such as rubbed against each other) can transfer electrons between them, which explains how an insulator can build up a net charge. What event or contact occurs with the Styrofoam and how might this transfer charge to it? 3.) Watch the rest of the video. How does the host explain that charge is transferred
