It is because the Greek root word "tribo or tribos" means to rub or rubbing. Friction transfer of electrons occurring during contact of two opposite materials on the triboelectric series of materials causes electrical properties to change overall polatity. Example... Rub a rubber balloon on your hair and touch it to the wall and it sticks until the electrons dissipate. Also walk across nylon carpet with tennis shoes and touch a doorknob and ZAP you get a shock. Once the shock was received the electron imbalance is gone and no more shock until you walk across the carpet or "rub" your feet on the carpet.

How frictional resistance along a fault affect the force released during an earthquake?
if the frictional resistance is high, the force will be greater, and if the frictional resistance is low, the force will be smaller.
How do earthquakes release the energy of frictional stress?
Earthquakes release the energy of frictional stress in forms of seismic waves.
A discharge of static electricity from a huge cloud is called a?
A discharge of static electricity from a huge cloud is called lightning.
The movement of electricity along a is called a?
The movement of electricity is a current. It is when positive and negative particles flow against each other. This produces electricity.
Soild sodium chloride is called an ionic solid. Its predicted properties are what?
it coducts electricity
How do you define term frictional electricity?
Frictional electricity is a static electrical charge.
Does friction use static?
the charges does not move in a body the frictional electricity is called static eletricity
Why frictional electricity is known as static electricity?
Becuase static electricity is generated by rubbing or by friction.
What are some bad good things about triboelectricity?
Bad good things is kind of an interesting way of looking at it. Since triboelectricity causes electricity to be taken from one material and transferred to another it is BAD if it is transferred to your body and you get a shock! It is GOOD if the electricity is being transferred into a rechargeable battery instead of your hair, which makes it stick straight out into the air. You will probably also get a shock afterward.
When you feel an electric shock due to rubbing against the carpet and touching a metal object it is called?
This is called Triboelectricity (tribo means friction).
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.
What are the conductors of electricity and heat?
1. The Conductor of ELECTRICITY is the ELECTRON. 2. The Conductor of HEAT in a Material is FRICTIONAL result of Molecules or Atoms. In a Vacuum it will be Infrared Energy WAVES.
Why is frictional force called a perverse force?
because it is is a preserve force
How friction is involved in the process of creating currents?
Actually charges could be created by rubbing two different insulating bodies resulting in charges at rest.These type of charges come under Electrostatics which can be also called as Frictional electricity.
What is the force that causes a resistance in motion called?
Inertia
What is the definition of rolling?
The frictional force offered when rolling of an object is called rolling friction
When was Frictional Games created?
Frictional Games was created in 2006.
