Why cant conductors generate static electricity when rubbed together?
Static electricity causes electrons to move from one material to the other. In an insulator, these electrons can't flow back to equalise the charges, whereas in a conductor they can; so whilst they could conceivably generate static electricity, it would be lost as quickly as it was made.
An object picks up a static charge when the object gains or loses?
Electrons
The buildup of electrons in a cloud is a form of current electricity?
It is a form of static electricity.
What force holds electrons and protons in the atom?
Electro-static attraction between a positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons.
What is the difference of static electricity and current electricity?
Current electricity requires an energy source, it would not flow unless there is a complete circuit to flow through continuously and it only flow through conductors where as static electricity does not require all of these. Static electricity can have extra protons or electrons and there foe can be either positively or negatively charged. Current electricity is simply the flow of electrons(negative).
Where are static charges held?
The static charges are held in the electrons
Is static electricity made up of electrons that are not moving?
Static electricity is made up of electrons and protons that are not moving.
How does static electricity occurs?
static electricity occurs when objects gain electrons
What is the type of electricity that electrons build up on an object?
static electricity
Is the static discharge a flow of electrons?
Static discharge is the spark associated with static electricity that is caused by electrostatic discharge.
What does static in static electricity mean?
Everything is made up of atoms and they hold electrons, protons and neutrons. Electrons can move. Static electricity is the presence of either too many electrons (negative charge) or too few electrons (positive charge). The movement of static electricity ... normally called an "electric current" ... is the flow of electrons from one place to another.
What is the steady flow of electrons?
Static charge
What does a shortage of electrons on a surface create?
Static.
What kind of electricity is electrons that are not moving?
Static
Are static electricity is electrons that are not moving?
true
What do the electrons do that causes static shock?
Jump.
Static electricity is electrons that are not moving.?
true
