What else can I help you with?
Is static electricity is an excess of charge?
Yes, static electricity is an excess of charge that builds up on an object due to the transfer of electrons. This imbalance of charge can result in static electricity causing objects to attract or repel each other.
Electrical charge that builds up in an object?
static electricity
What is a still charge that builds up on an object called?
Static Electricity
What is the name for a stationary electrical charge which builds up an insulated object?
Static Electricity.
Why do some clothes are charged during the day?
Because the clothes rub against each other, which scrapes off electrons, causing static charge. The charge cant move( clothes are insulators) so charge builds up during the day
What charge is responsible for cloths that stick together from the dryer?
static electricity
Why are balloons attracted to hair?
Balloons can stick to hair due to static electricity. When friction occurs between the balloon and hair, electrons are transferred, causing a buildup of static charge. This static charge creates an attractive force between the balloon and the hair, causing them to stick together.
When you walk across a carpeted floor and then touch a metal doorknob the shock you feel occurs because of A static discharge B electric field C static charge D chemical reaction?
A static discharge. The friction from walking on the carpet builds up a static charge on your body, and when you touch the metal doorknob, the excess charge is quickly released in the form of a static discharge, creating a shock.
Does static electricity move?
yes, static electricity travels to sharp edges.
Why is a balloon attracted to your hand?
A balloon can be attracted to your hand due to the presence of static electricity. When you rub the balloon against your hair or clothing, it builds up a negative charge, while your hand may have a positive charge. Opposite charges attract, causing the balloon to be pulled towards your hand.
How does clothes in the dryer produce electric charge?
Clothes rubbing against each other and the dryer drum create friction, causing electrons to transfer between the materials. This transfer of electrons builds up electric charge on the clothes. When the clothes are separated or come into contact with another material, this charge can be discharged as static electricity.
How can one induce a static charge?
One can induce a static charge by rubbing two objects together, causing the transfer of electrons between them and creating an imbalance of positive and negative charges.
