What is electricity defined as?
movement of electrical charges
What holds an electrical charge?
An electrical charge is held by particles called electrons and protons. Electrons carry a negative charge while protons carry a positive charge, and they are found within atoms. When there is an imbalance of electrons or protons, an object can have a net electrical charge.
Why does electricity prefer to flow towards the ground?
Electricity flows towards the ground because the Earth is a good conductor of electricity. When there is a difference in electrical charge between a high point and the ground, the electricity will flow towards the ground to balance out the charge.
The buildup of electrical charge on a material is called a?
The buildup of electrical charge on a material is called static electricity. It occurs when there is an imbalance of positive and negative charges on the surface of an object.
How the charge of a wire changes when the electricity current flows in the wire?
When electricity current flows through a wire, the charge of the wire does not change. The flow of electrons creates an electrical current, but the total charge of the wire remains constant.
How do you define term frictional electricity?
Frictional electricity is a static electrical charge.
What charge passes through electrical wires to produce electricity?
Negative charge
Electrical charge that builds up in an object?
static electricity
What electricity travels through?
electricity can travel through anything with a positive and negative electrical charge
Electric utility companies charge customers for?
Using electricity.
What is repel in electricity?
Repel means to push away.With electricity- An object with positive electrical charge will repel another object with positive electrical charge.(.....My 9yr old daughter just told me this)
What is the name for a stationary electrical charge which builds up an insulated object?
Static Electricity.
What is electricity defined as?
movement of electrical charges
What is trickle charge?
A trickle charge is a small amount of electricity that continuously flows. A trickle charge is used in many electrical applications.
What does a generator hold?
A generator produces electricity. A battery holds an electrical charge.
Why can't static charge be used to operate an electrical device?
Static charge does not provide a steady flow of electricity.
Does electricity always travel down?
No, electrical charge does not interact with gravity.
