Static electricity is...

• very dangerous

• a sudden, single transfer of electrons

• a steady flow of current through a wire

Which insulator would most likely GIVE UP electrons in the process of producing static electrcity?

• carpet

• rubber balloons

• show soles

The positive terminal on a battery is called the

• anode

• collector

• cathode

• electrolyte

The negative terminal on a battery is called the

• anode

• cathode

• collector

• electrolyte

This is inside a battery & provides a way for electrons to leave it

• electrodes

• collector

• electrolyte

Moving electrons in a stream is better known as

• a current flowing through a circuit

• the oxidation-reduction process

• static electricity discharge
