point charge (apex)
Rubbing wool on the ball transfers electrons (negatively charged) from the wool to the ball. The excess charge builds up and produces static electricity.

In the context of a mitochondrion, the matrix builds up a negative charge relative to the intermembrane space during the process of oxidative phosphorylation. This occurs as protons (H⁺ ions) are pumped from the matrix into the intermembrane space, creating a proton gradient. This electrochemical gradient contributes to the potential energy used by ATP synthase to produce ATP as protons flow back into the matrix. Thus, the matrix becomes increasingly negatively charged compared to the positively charged intermembrane space.
Protons (H+ ions) end up in the intermembrane space during the electron transport chain. These protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane from the matrix to the intermembrane space as electrons flow through the electron transport chain.

Static Electricity
as the electrons pass down the electron transport chain, h+ ions build up in the _____ space?
Static Electricity.
A Van de Graaff generator uses a motor to transfer positive charge from a grounded metal sphere to a rubber belt continuously. The charge builds up on the metal sphere as the belt moves, creating a high voltage difference between the sphere and the belt due to the continuous transfer of charge.

Hydrogen ions are pumped into the mitochondrion during electron transport. Oxygen is the final acceptor of the electron resulting in the formation of water.
Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter that determines how it interacts with other matter through electromagnetic forces. When electric charge builds up in an object, it can lead to the creation of static electricity. This can cause sparks or shocks when the charged object comes into contact with another object, and can potentially lead to damage in electronic devices.
