The loss of static electricity as a charge move off an object?
The loss of static electricity as a charge moves off an object is known as an electro static discharge.
Rubbing one object against another causes a of one kind of charge?
Rubbing an insulator against a non insulator causes the build up of electrons which is known as static electricity, the electrons take the easiest route to earth, that's why if you touch any thing that is earthed you may get an electric shock :)
How does static electricity change the charges of an object?
Static electricity is produced by an object rubs up against another object, which in turn transfers electrons from one object to another.Static Electricity, a motionless electrical charge, as compared to current electricity. Static electricity occurs when an electrical charge builds up because of friction between two different objects, this usually occurs when the two items are not good at conducting electricity. Never confuse static electricity with current electricity. Current electricity should only be handled by qualified personnel.
Is it true the accumulation of electric charged on an object is called magnetism?
No, that statement is incorrect. The accumulation of electric charges on an item is known as static electricity, not magnetism.
Compare and contrast static electricity and electricity that flows through wires?
Electricity that flows through wires is very specific. It's input is controlled and regulated. Every aspect is known, current, voltage, resistance, frequency, etc. The main difference though is the way it is generated. Hard wire electricity can be generated in a number of ways; usually some form of chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy where a difference in permanent magnets through a coil will generate the electricity. In one other commonly used way the electron flow is chemically generated through a difference in valance electrons (also known as a battery). Static however is only categorized differently because of the way it is produced and the proportions in which it is delivered. Static is generated through friction of one surface that is a good conductor and one surface that is a very bad electrical conductor. And also the fact that static will build up to 30,000 volts (at low current delivery) and flows in no specific direction, unlike a hard wire.
Why frictional electricity is known as static electricity?
Becuase static electricity is generated by rubbing or by friction.
Did Michael Faraday discover static electricity?
No, not at all. Static electricity was known to the ancient Greeks.
If rubber is a good insulator why do balloons attract static electricity?
Insulators can easily have static electricity. In case of conductors we have to follow some delicate procedure to store charges on it. Usually that is known to be electrostatic induction. But in case of insulators just rubbing would do to produce static electricity. Example: when a glass rod is rubbed against a silk cloth, then glass lose electrons to the silk and so glass becomes positively charged and silk negatively charged. So balloons being a bad conductor is good example to have static electricity. If it is good conductor then charges would flow through them easily and so not possible to produce static electricity just by rubbing.
The loss of static electricity as a charge move off an object?
The loss of static electricity as a charge moves off an object is known as an electro static discharge.
Electrostatic discharge is commonly known as what?
static electricity
Electrostatic discharge is commonly known as?
i think its static electricity.
What does George Washington know about electric bill?
Nothing, he could not have even imagined such a thing. The only forms of electricity known when he lived were: lightning, static electricity, and wet cell batteries. As there were no practical uses for any of these (and lightning was destructive) there was no chance of charging anyone for these.
Rubbing one object against another causes a of one kind of charge?
Rubbing an insulator against a non insulator causes the build up of electrons which is known as static electricity, the electrons take the easiest route to earth, that's why if you touch any thing that is earthed you may get an electric shock :)
Was there knowledge of electricity when Albert Einstein lived?
ThaleThales of Miletus is credited with observing that rubbing fur on various substances, such as amber, would cause an attraction between the two, which is now known to be caused by static electricity. The Ancient Greeks noted that the amber buttons could attract light objects such as hair and that if the amber was rubbed sufficiently a spark would jump.s of Miletus is credited with observing that rubbing fur on various substances, such as amber, would cause an attraction between the two, which is now known to be caused by static electricity.

Why does hairs of hands raise when the hand is brought near TV screens once the TV is switched off?
static electricity It is due to an electromagnetic phenomenon known as "Static Electricity." The television screen is bombarded with electronic rays that produce electrically charged ions in the screen. When your neutrally charged hairs approach the screen, they are attracted by the ions, which are seeking to become neutral. because of static electricity is shocking you but you don't really now it .
What is the difference between static electricity and electricity?
The electricity is build up when electrons (negative charged particles of an atom) move in a conductor (eg. metal, wire, water) in a closed loop. This is also known as current. Just like water flow in a set of pipes. Static electricity is somehow the contrary. Static electricity is all about charges which are not free to move. This causes them to build up in one place and it often ends with a spark or a shock when they finally do move.
Describe a situation involving static electricity?
Everything we see is made up of tiny little parts called atoms. The atoms are made of even smaller parts. These are called protons, electrons and neutrons. They are very different from each other in many ways. One way they are different is their "charge." Protons have a positive (+) charge. Electrons have a negative (-) charge. Neutrons have no charge.
