Is the pressure of the clouds being compressed and heated which cause the lightning?
No. It is the buildup of static electricity in the clouds, caused by the motion of the air within the clouds.
What type of electricity is produced by rubbing two balloons together?
When you rub a balloon against a sweater it will stick and stay on for a while
What is lightening electricity?
Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge caused by unbalanced electric chargesin the atmosphere, and resulting in a strike, from a cloud to itself, a cloud to a cloud or a cloud to ground, and accompanied by the loud sound of thunder.
Why does a balloon stick to the wall when you rub it on your head?
electrons are transferred from your hair to the balloon . so ballon gets a negative charge . so there is a transfer of energy when you rub your hair with balloon and static electricity is producedP.S. : HAIR SHOULD BE DRY
How is electricity produced with a plastic comb and dry hair?
An imbalance in electric charge in non-conductors like hair and a plastic comb can be produced by the mechanical work done on the materials. This amounts to a buildup of static electricity by generating pairs of charge carriers - electrons on one material (the comb) leaving the hair positively charged. Normally there is no completed circuit or appreciable current, the electrostatic discharge of the potential created with static electricity might be manifest as a spark, or on larger scales a lightning bolt. In the case of the comb and hair one can appeal to the atomic model to explain the phenomenon; some materials can lose electrons from their outer shells where the attraction to those electrons is a bit weaker, other materials with incomplete outer shells may tend to gain them. This is called contact-induced charge separation, the action of combing through the hair being the cause.
Can static electricity cause a sand storm?
No, but sandstorms can cause static electricity.
How charges cause static electricity?
Charges cause static electricity by charges
How do charges cause static electricity?
Charges cause static electricity by charges
Is the pressure of the clouds being compressed and heated which cause the lightning?
No. It is the buildup of static electricity in the clouds, caused by the motion of the air within the clouds.
What is the relationship between atoms and static electricity?
static electricity can be called high voltage static electricity can be called high voltage static electricity can bend water
Can static electricity cause blisters?
No....
What kind of charge is a buildup of electric charges and can cause a spark?
Static charge.
What does static electricity and current electricity have in common?
They both cause by electrical charge
What is the cause of static electricity?
Separation of electrical charges is.
What does friction cause to build up?
static electricity
What are some testable questions involving static electricity For example Does rubbing an object more cause more static electricity?
Which materials make more static electricity when different objects are rubbed up against eachother.
Can neutrons cause static electricity?
No. The movement of electrons is what causes electricity, and neutrons take no part in it.
