How does rubbing one object on another create static electricity?

the electrons get ripped off one object and held by the other
The rubbing moves electrons to the object that holds them more tightly.

As you learn about positive and negative charges, remember, charges that are alike push each other away. Unlike charges attract each other.

How do you create static discharge?
In nature, a static discharge will be lightning. you can also create static discharge by rubbing your feet against a carpet and touching the door knob afterwards. You can feel the shock, which is a static discharge!!
What is the let go threshold?
The maximum level of electricity whereby a human has the ability to release their hands from an electrified object. Once this threshold is passed the electricity causes the hand to contract involuntarily and you can not release the object until the electricity is terminated or another force pulls your hand away.
Can electrons move from one object to another when rubbed together?
The transfer of electrons from one object to another by direct contact is charging by conduction. The transfer of electrons form one uncharged object to another by rubbing the objects together is charging by friction.
To electricity and magnetism What do we mean when we say that the object is been grounded?
It is at zero potential A grounded object is an object which has a path for the electricity to "complete the circuit." The object should be safe to touch, if it is grounded.
How is a positive charge usually given to a neutral object?
Friction will give a positive charge to a neutral object by conduction. This is done by rubbing two different materials together.
How does rubbing one object on another create electricity?
the electrons get ripped off one object and held by the other The rubbing moves electrons to the object that holds them more tightly.
How electricity happen?
(Surface) Electrons are moved from one object to another, usually by rubbing. Note that the objects are non-conductors.
What is easiest way of create an electric charge?
just by rubbing an object e.g: rubbing hands, rubbing stones, to create a charge
What kind of electricity is produced by rubbing?
static electricity and a bit of kinetic energy if object is moving or orbiting.
How can friction be reproduced?
By rubbing an object against another
Is conductions the transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by rubbing?
false
Conduction is the transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by rubbing?
it is False.
Can carpet pass an electricity to another object?
Correction* Can carpet pass electricity onto another object? If you mean static electricity then yes, but depending on the charge of the other object.
What does electricity and magnetism create?
force when it strikes a object.
What force is created by the surface of one object rubbing against another object?
shear
What is the transfer of electrons from one object to another by rubbing is?
friction
How do you explain static electricity to an 8 year old?
Static electricity is a small charge of electric energy that can create a spark under the proper conditions. All objects are made of molecules, and these molecules can be given energy by friction, which is rubbing together. Some of this rubbing energy is absorbed by the material. When the material is connected to another object that is grounded (connected to the ground or another large object), the charge will flow into the other object. If the connection is made by your finger, or a metal object, a visible spark may appear. (Holding a metal object reduces the effect on the nerves of the finger, carrying the charge through the entire hand.) Examples of large static electricity charges: -- Rubbing leather slippers against a nylon rug -- Sliding across a leather or plastic car seat in dry weather -- Touching a car door when there is a cold, dry wind blowing -- Pulling apart polyester socks from the clothes dryer
