Electricity Review 5th Grade Georgia

What is the difference between static electricity and current electricity?

• Static electricity is the flow of electric charge, while current electricity is the build-up of charge.

• Static electricity is the build-up of charge, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge.

• Static electricity is a type of current electricity that occurs in circuits.

• Static electricity and current electricity are the same phenomenon.

What is static electricity?

• Static electricity is the build-up of electric charge on the surface of objects, often caused by friction.

• Static electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.

• Static electricity is the energy produced by moving water.

• Static electricity is the heat generated by electrical appliances.

What is a conductor?

• A material that allows electric charges to flow through it easily.

• A material that prevents electric charges from flowing.

• A type of insulator used in electrical circuits.

• A device that stores electric charges for later use.

Which material is NOT an insulator?

• Wood

• Rubber

• Water

• Glass

How can static electricity be discharged?

• By touching a conductive material, allowing the charge to flow away.

• By isolating the charged object from any conductive materials.

• By increasing the distance between charged objects.

• By using a non-conductive material to cover the charged object.
