what is static electricity
.static electricity occurs when there is a build of electric charge on the surface of a material it is called static electricity because the charge don,t move the electricity we use every day involves moving charges does not move
Two kinds of charges
.After being rubbed,a plastic ruler can attract paper scarp.
.ruler carries electric charge.
.it exerts electric force on paper.
This charging method is called charging by friction.
The interaction between static electric charges is called electrostatics
where do charges come from?
if electrons=proton(=)neutral
if electrons-protons =)gaining
electrons negative charge if electrons <protons=) losing electrons, postive charge
it,s like
where do charges come from?
when a balloon rubs a piece of wool...
electrons are pulled from the wool to the balloon.
The balloon has more electrons than usual
The balloon :- charged
The wool:t charged
where do charges come from ?
.rubbing materials does not create electric charges
it just transfers electrons from one material to the other
Examples of static electricity
How does static electricity differ from current electricity?
What is the role of electrons in the buildup of static electricity?
How can static electricity be both useful and harmful?
What are some methods to prevent or reduce static electricity?
How do materials like insulators and conductors affect static electricity?
What is the phenomenon of electrostatic discharge, and why is it important?
