Electricity

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects, often caused by friction.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily, such as metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily, such as rubber or glass.

Front

What happens when two objects with static electricity come into contact?

Back

They can attract or repel each other depending on the charges they carry.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons through a conductor.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the energy that an object has due to its motion or position.

Front

What is radiant energy?

Back

Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves, such as light.

Front

How does a ceiling fan transform energy?

Back

A ceiling fan transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy to create movement.

Front

How does a lamp transform energy?

Back

A lamp transforms electrical energy into radiant energy to produce light.

Front

What is the role of friction in static electricity?

Back

Friction can cause the transfer of electrons between two objects, leading to static electricity.
