What is the term used to describe the build up of electrical charges on an object due to friction?
The term used to describe the build up of electric charge on a non-conductive material due to friction is static electricity.
Why does metal not go in a microwave?
Because the metal causes the microwaves to arch, which can create a dangerous build up of electrical charge that can cause the metal to explode.
The electrical energy at nuclear power plants is made up of what?
Electricity...or technically speaking, lots of static/electrical charges of ions.
How does your laundry get static cling?
when various fabrics rub together, excess charges are picked up by some and lost by others, creating a build-up of charges. opposites attract--like charges repel
What does friction cause to build up?

What occurs when electrical charges build up on a surface of an object?
When you build up electrical charges on the surface of an object you get static. Static can result in a small shock if the electrical charge is given a direct conductive contact to the ground.
What occurs when positive and negative electrical charges build up in clouds?

What occurs when positive and negative electrical changes build up in the clouds?
Eventually the two charges will have to balance out with what we call lightening?
What is a build up of charges on an object?
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
What elements that build up electrical discharge?
Electrons build up electrical discharge. They carry negative charge.
Can you splice a heating tape?
God no!!! The tape is shielded for a reason. It will cause a heat build up that can lead to and electrical fire.
Lightning forms when charges drop to the lower parts of a cloud and charges build up on the ground below?
lightning forms when negative charges drop to the lower parts of a cloud and positive charges build up on the ground below.
