Static Electricity

What is static electricity?

• The build up of electric charges in one place.

• The build up of electric charges in the oven.

• The build up of electric charges in many places.

• The build up of electric charges in space.

Equal numbers of positive and negative electrons are

• so cool.

• neutral

• positive

• negative

When you have a surplus of electrons it is

• positive

• hot

The quantity of unbalanced electricity in an object (either positive or negative) and interpreted as an excess or deficiency of electron is a

• neutral

• electron

• force field

• charge

An electrical conduction through a gas in an applied electric field; spark, is a
