What else can I help you with?
Can object with a static charge can attract only other charged objects?
No. It can exert a much weaker force on neutral objects, due to an induced separation of charges - that is, the charged object will cause a separation of charges in the uncharged object, thus creating an electric dipole.
What is the movement of static charge from one place to another?
Static Discharge:Perhaps you see a spark jump between your hand and the doorknob. The spark is an example of an electric discharge. An electric discharge is the movement of static charge from one place to another. The spark you saw was the result of a static charge moving between your hand and the doorknob.
Why would a balloon stick to a paper if you rubbed it on your hair or sweater?
Rubbing a balloon on hair or a sweater causes it to accumulate a static charge. When the charged balloon comes near the paper, it can actually induce the opposite charge on the paper, creating an attractive force between the two objects. This is known as static electricity.
Why a balloon that has a static electric charge will stick to a wall?
When a balloon carries a static electric charge, it can induce an opposite charge on the wall it approaches. These opposite charges attract each other, causing the balloon to stick to the wall due to electrostatic forces.
What is the Electric charge that has built up in one place referred to as?
The electric charge that has built up in one place is referred to as static electricity.
What do you call the movement of an electrical charge from one object to another?
static charge

Static in static electricity describes what property of the charge?
The "static" in static electricity describes that the charge is unmoving, or staying in one place. A movement of electrons is not occuring, however there is an electrical charge. The opposite would be current electricity that flows, and that you would find in electric cords, etc...
What is the Electric charge that has built up in one place referred to as?
The electric charge that has built up in one place is referred to as static electricity.
Accumulation of electric charges on a object?
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
Is lighting a static charge or is it produce by static charge?
Lightning is produced by the buildup and discharge of static electricity in the atmosphere, typically caused by the separation of positive and negative charges within a cloud or between a cloud and the ground. So, it is produced by static charge rather than being static charge itself.
What is the movement of static charge from one place to another is called?
The movement of static charge from one place to another is called static electricity. This occurs when there is an imbalance of positive and negative charges and they move to restore equilibrium, usually by flow of electrons.
What does static electricity charge?
Static electricity is a imbalance of electric charges on the surface of an object. When objects are rubbed together, electrons can transfer from one object to another, creating a charge imbalance. This charge can then accumulate and cause static electricity to build up.
Why static electricity don't have electric charge?
Static electricity DOES have an electric charge.
