Static electricity and friction

Back

Friction can generate static electricity.

Front

Friction and Charging

Back

Friction can cause objects to gain or lose electrons, resulting in a charge.

Front

Charged objects can affect other objects without touching.

Back

Charged objects can exert forces on other objects without direct contact.

Front

Force can be attractive or repulsive.

Back

The force experienced in an electric field can either pull objects together or push them apart.

Front

Charged particles are a property of particles that make up atoms.

Back

Charged particles are fundamental to the structure of matter.
