Best Answer

An object can be electrostatically charged by friction, contact or induction.

Objects get static charges when they get or give away electrons.

eg: when an ebonite rod is rubbed with a wool cloth.

What are the ways objects can obtain static electricity?

The Answer is Conduction,Friction, and induction.


Is static electricity friction between two objects?

yes it's the objects rubbing together and producing an static charge. this is the really simple answer.


What type of charge is transferred when friction between two objects occurs?

Static charge (and thermal energy)


Describe ways in which objects acquire an electrostatic charge?

one way in which objects acquire static charge is by friction against two objects which charges the atoms creating static charges/electricity. e.g put on some work boots and sit on a chair and rub them against the carpet hard and quickly so they gain static charge. then whilst still rubbind touch something metal like a pole.


How are static and current electricity obtained?

Typically, movement is used to obtain electricity of the static or current varieties. Rubbing two dissimilar objects together has been used to create a difference in the distribution of charge (static electricity). Current electricity is typically made by a dynamo or generator: a wire is moved through a magnetic field.


What is the buildup of charges on objects?

Static charge is the buildup of electric charges on an object. This is a Biology question.


How does Static electricity differ from electric discharge?

Static electricity is a charge built up on an object, usually from interacting with its surrounding, like shuffling your feet or rubbing fur. Its just a charge that sits there (static!) Electric discharge is when a charge moves between objects , this happens when you touch something and the static charge on you moves to the new object in one lump. One is a measure of charge, the other is the charge's movement. One is static, the other is usually fast (not always)


Is static a contact or non-contact force?

it is a noncontact force because before two objects touch, the electical charge held in one of the objects will "jump" to the other object, causing a static shock


If you take the clothes out of the dryer partially dry is there any static cling?

No there is no static cling because water neutralizes objects. Therefore the clothes would ahve no charge on them.no the static discharge


Is lighting a static charge or is it produce by static charge?

Lighting is caused by static charge, not that lighting is a static charge . It happen when unlike charge come in attraction.


Why do clothes in the dryer get static cling?

Static cling is a phenomenon caused by static electricity. When dry materials rub against each other, they can exchange electrons, creating an electrical charge. This charge can build up in the form of static electricity and cause two objects, typically clothing, to stick or hold together.


Does static electricity affect objects?

Yes, static electricity does affect objects.
