What is static electricity in terms of movement of electrons?
LilaPorter
Here electrons get migrated from one region to the other. Here no contiuous flow of electrons. As electrons get migrated to one region, then negative potential created would oppose further migration of electrons and hence a negativ potential is created. This is what we call CHARGED. A capacitor is a device to store electric charges by following the phenomenon of electrostatic induction.

How does magnetism help you hear recorded music?
In simple terms - the music is converted (from an analogue or digital source) into electricity. The electricity passes down the headphone's wires to the speakers. A magnet in the speakers reacts to the strength of the electrical signal to move a small diaphragm. The movement of the diaphragm sets up vibrations in the air between the speaker and your ears, which is then detected by your eardrum. Your brain interprets the air-movement as sound.
What is happening when two objects are rubbed together and static electricity results?
-- Relatively 'loose' electrons are scraped off of one object and collected on the other one. -- In terms of the charge 'budget', the action leaves one object positively charged ... having less electrons than it should have ... and the other object negatively charged ... having more electrons than it should have. -- Now you have two oppositely charged objects. -- There's a physical force between them, -- there's a potential difference (voltage) between them, and -- there's an electrostatic field between them. -- If either of them gets near enough to a 'neutral' object, it's going to balance its charge budget, either by sucking electrons from the neutral object in order to fill the deficit, or by dumping electrons onto the neutral object in order to relieve its surplus.
What is a device that transforms electrical energy into movement or mechanical movement?
An electrical motor, or in more general terms an actuator
Compare the outermost electrons of an atom with the inner electrons of an atom in terms of energy.?
Outermost have more energy than innermost. As electrons move inward, they release energy.
What is the study of the behavior of electrons?
When electrons are studied on the atomic level, that is called particle physics. When they are studied in terms of how they are used in various types of technology, that is called electronics.
How can you use static charges and static elec to generate EMF or elec current?
Static charge and static electricity are 2 different terms for the same thing. Static electricity is voltage without current, usually created by friction. Voltage and EMF are 2 different terms for the same thing. When static electricity generates current, it is called a discharge and the static electricity ceases to exist. It has been discharged.
How is electricity different from other electricity?
Static electricity is electric charge just sitting there. Electric Current is electric charge in motion. And the original terms for electricity is Lightning, Thunderbolt.
What does electricity mean in science terms?
Electricity is the flow of electrons from areas of high potential to areas of low potential.
How are electricity static electricity and magnetism related?
well in simple terms a static electricity is charge, which is a basic quality of matter , in fact it is as basic as mass. Now, a charge in motion is a current or in other words electricity. And magnetism is a result of the motion of charge. so in a way these all three are related.
What is electrical friction in science terms?
This might refer to static electricity, which is a "flavor" of what is called contract electrification, or triboelectric effect. Use the link below to the related question to get the scoop.
You run a comb through your hair on a dry autumn day and hear a crackling sound Which terms applies to this phenomenon?
Static electricity
How is carbon used to reduce metal oxides in terms of movement of electrons?
Carbothermic reactions are reduction reactions.
What is the hypothesis for electricity?
We are long past the hypothesis stage, with regard to electricity, which is a very well understood phenomenon at this point. If you would like to know about the history of scientific investigation of electricity, there were a number of hypotheses, including the hypothesis that lightning is a form of electricity (which is true) and that nerve impulses are also a form of electricity (also true) and that electricity can be generated by some types of chemical reactions (also true) and that electricity can be used to make the Frankenstein monster come to life (not true).
What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator in terms of electrons?
Electrons are part of an atom, in elements etc. Electrodes are types of medical equipment places on certain parts of your body, that send electrical pulses to your muscles to stimulate them.
How do electrons flow in an electric in terms of voltage difference?
Electrons are negatively charged particles. When a voltage difference exists, electrons are repelled from the more negative (or less positive) voltage toward the more positive voltage. If they are in a material which allows conduction of electricity, then the electrons will flow toward the more positive voltage.
How do electrons in an electric circuit in terms of voltage difference?
Electrons are negatively charged particles. When a voltage difference exists, electrons are repelled from the more negative (or less positive) voltage toward the more positive voltage. If they are in a material which allows conduction of electricity, then the electrons will flow toward the more positive voltage.
