What type of electrostatic charge does an electron have?
a positive charge
What type of electricity causes lightning?
it is the kenetic energy produced by water molecules rubbing against each other that's also why lightning is hot because of the molecules rubing together and heating up Electric charge is not kinetic energy. Lightning is Electrostatic charge finding its way back to earth, from where it originally came. The electrical energy is converted to heat in the materials it strikes.
Why does green attract lightning?
because it creates a charge and lightning needs eather a negitive charge or a positive charge
How do particles with the same charge interact?
Particles with the same charge will interact by electrostatic repulsion.
How is charge separated in a lightning bolt?
The charge separates.
What is ligthing?
ž žLightning is caused by the build up of electrostatic charge in clouds Lightning is caused by the build up of electrostatic charge in clouds
Does nylon have an electrostatic charge?
when your clothes rub against your skin an electrostatic charge is made.
What is electrostatic charges?
Charge can also be present on insulators and because these materials do not allow the charge to flow, this is called electrostatic charge
What is a charge on a rubber rod?
an electrostatic negative charge
What charge does lightning have?
Lightning has an negative charge
Electrostatic Charge of iodide?

What type of electrostatic charge does an electron have?
a positive charge
How does lighting discharge?
When there is a sufficiently strong electrostatic charge, it can cause air molecules to ionize, which are then electrically conductive and create a pathway for the discharge of the electrostatic charge.
What is cobalt's strength of electrostatic force?
The strength of the electrostatic force depends on the electric charge. If you have a block of cobalt - or of just about any other material for that matter - you can put a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge on it; and the charge can be large or small.
What does an eletroscope do?
It detects electrostatic charge. (Static electricity).
