All physical objects are made up of atoms. Inside an atom are protons, electrons and neutrons. The protons are positively charged, the electrons are negatively charged, and the neutrons are neutral.
Therefore, all things are made up of charges. Opposite charges attract each other (negative to positive). Like charges repel each other (positive to positive or negative to negative). Most of the time positive and negative charges are balanced in an object, which makes that object neutral.
Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges can build up on the surface of an object until they find a way to be released or discharged. One way to discharge them is through a circuit.
The rubbing of certain materials against one another can transfer negative charges, or electrons. For example, if you rub your shoe on the carpet, your body collects extra electrons. The electrons cling to your body until they can be released. As you reach and touch your furry friend, you get a shock. Don't worry, it is only the surplus electrons being released from you to your unsuspecting pet.
And what about that "hair raising" experience? As you remove your hat, electrons are transferred from hat to hair, creating that interesting hairdo! Remember, objects with the same charge repel each other. Because they have the same charge, your hair will stand on end. Your hairs are simply trying to get as far away from each other as possible!
When you rub a balloon against your clothes and it sticks to the wall, you are adding a surplus of electrons (negative charges) to the surface of the balloon. The wall is now more positively charged than the balloon. As the two come in contact, the balloon will stick because of the rule that opposites attract (positive to negative).
What else can I help you with?
Why might a plastic rod that cobtains mulriple electrons not have a charge?
Plastic is an isalator so, it does not let the electrons move around freely to produce a stactic charge
What is stactic electricity means?
Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object. This charge can be generated by friction, contact, or induction, causing objects to attract or repel each other. When the charge is discharged, it can create a spark or shock.
What is stactic friction?
static frictin
You create electricity from stactic electricity?
yes
What are dessert statistics?
a dessert stactic is when you have less of a portion and want more.
How can kid make electricity in energy?
by rubbing a balloon on dry hair. this will generate kinetic energy as well as stactic electricity
What does book em mean?
It means "throw the book at them," which means "charge them with everything in the legal book that you can charge them with."
What does it means to conserve charge?
To conserve charge means that in any physical process, the total electric charge remains constant. This principle is described by the law of conservation of charge, which states that electric charge can neither be created nor destroyed, only transferred from one object to another.
What color of hair carries more stactic electricity?
The darker hair color carries more energy because it takes in more heat.
What type of sheets are best for me if I don't want to use fabric softener?
Cotton sheets so they wont come out with alot of stactic cling.
What doesn't carry a charge?
Carrying charge means it is an ION, not an atom
What does a aow charge mean?
An AOW charge means the charge brought up against the Artists of War.
