Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student in Trinidad rubbed a plastic ruler with a dry cloth and then held it near small pieces of paper. The paper pieces were attracted to the ruler. Which of the following BEST explains this observation?

  1. The ruler became magnetized by friction
  2. The ruler acquired a static charge by friction
  3. The paper pieces became conductors of electricity
  4. The cloth transferred electrons to the paper
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — The ruler acquired a static charge by friction
Award 1 mark for identifying that the ruler acquired a static charge by friction. A is incorrect — plastic cannot become magnetized. C is incorrect — paper remains an insulator. D is incorrect — electrons were transferred to/from the ruler, not to the paper directly.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

During the dry season in Jamaica, a technician working at a computer repair shop notices that he receives small electric shocks when touching metal equipment. Which of the following would BEST reduce this problem?

  1. Wearing rubber-soled shoes
  2. Increasing the humidity in the room
  3. Using plastic tools instead of metal
  4. Working in a room with wooden floors
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Increasing the humidity in the room
Award 1 mark for identifying that increasing humidity helps dissipate static charge. A is incorrect — rubber soles would increase charge accumulation. C is incorrect — plastic tools do not prevent charge build-up on the body. D is incorrect — wooden floors do not effectively ground static charge.

CXC CSEC Integrated Science: Electricity: Static Electricity and Basic Concepts FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Integrated Science questions on Electricity: Static Electricity and Basic Concepts are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Electricity: Static Electricity and Basic Concepts for CXC CSEC Integrated Science, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Integrated Science?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Electricity: Static Electricity and Basic Concepts practice with other Integrated Science topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Electricity: Static Electricity and Basic Concepts questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Integrated Science syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Integrated Science specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Electricity: Static Electricity and Basic Concepts typically tested on CXC CSEC Integrated Science papers?
Electricity: Static Electricity and Basic Concepts appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Integrated Science papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
