Static electricity

Static electricity is:

• electricity flowing in a wire

• the buildup of electric charges on an object

• when protons move between objects

Two objects with LIKE static charges will

• attract each other
• even out in the end
• repel each other
• cause a spark

Which is an example of static dischage?

• a motor
• lightning
• thunder
• insulators

Which of these is NOT a way to create a static charge?

• Friction
• Induction
• Electroaction
• Conduction

Is it possible to CREATE electrons?

• Yes, that's what static electricity is.
• No, you can move them, but they are never created or distroyed.
• Sometimes, it depends on the voltage.
• Sometimes, it depends on the element.

If two objects with static charge are attracted, what do you know about them?

• They are both positively charged.
• They are both negatively charged.
• One is positively charged and one is negatively charged, but you won't be able to tell which is which.
• One is positively charged and one is negatively charged, and you can tell which is which by looking at them.
