The electric lines of force. A repelling force is between two like charges. An attractive force is between two opposite charges.
You can move things with static electricity!
Static electricity constitutes of charges that are static i.e. they do not move.
Static electricity.
Static in static electricity means still because it does not move, unlike regular electricity.
Static
static electricity
yes, static electricity travels to sharp edges.
You can move a drinks can with a balloon by creating static electricity on the balloon and then using that static charge to attract the can. Rub the balloon against your hair or a piece of fabric to generate static electricity, then hold the balloon near the can to make it move. The can will be attracted to the charged balloon due to static electricity.
The electricity is build up when electrons (negative charged particles of an atom) move in a conductor (eg. metal, wire, water) in a closed loop. This is also known as current. Just like water flow in a set of pipes. Static electricity is somehow the contrary. Static electricity is all about charges which are not free to move. This causes them to build up in one place and it often ends with a spark or a shock when they finally do move.
Static means it doesn't move. This is essentially what static electricity is, a charge tht has no current. It is made by the transfer of electrons, as a pose to a cell or battery.
Static electricity does not move, as it stays in one place until it is discharged through a conductor. Static electricity is the build-up of electric charge on the surface of objects due to an imbalance of electrons.
As static electricity charges move off an object through a discharge, the object then becomes the same potential as the surrounding objects in the area.
