How does static charge build up in a thundercloud?

Static charge builds up in a thundercloud through a process called ice crystal collision. Within the cloud, ice crystals of different sizes and weights collide, causing electrons to be stripped from lighter particles and accumulate on heavier particles. This separation of charge creates areas of positive and negative charges within the cloud, which eventually lead to lightning discharge.


Why do you have lightning?

Lightning is a sudden discharge of electrons from clouds to the ground. When storm clouds gather up lots of electrons, which are negative, the electrons are attracted to the ground's positive charge (opposites attract). The cloud's electrons build up so much that they leap to the ground in one stream, causing visible lightning.

What is the maximum number of electrons an element with two energy levels can have?

An element with two energy levels can have a maximum of 8 electrons. The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, while the second energy level can hold up to 6 electrons.


Number of energy level in sulfur?

Sulfur has three energy levels, which can accommodate up to 16 electrons. The first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third energy level can hold up to 6 electrons.

What do you get when a large build up of electrons jump?

Electricity is created by the movement of electrons in a particular direction. A large jump of electrons results in sparks, or even lightning.

What is one of the best exercises to build up your legs?

It depends which part of your legs you want to build. If you want to work on your quads you could always do wall sits if you don't have any weight equipment. If you want to build your caffs you can do wall jumps or box jumps if you don't have weight equipment


How a conductor can build up a static charge?

A conductor can build up a static charge by gaining or losing electrons through friction with another material. This excess or deficit of electrons creates an imbalance in charge, leading to a build-up of static electricity on the surface of the conductor.


What can the build up of extra electrons on clouds cause?

The build-up of extra electrons on clouds can cause lightning to occur. When the charge difference between clouds or between a cloud and the ground becomes large enough, it can result in a discharge of electricity in the form of lightning.


How voltage is developed?

Voltage is a build up of electrons at one location relative to another location. To form a voltage gradient (difference), you need to somehow build up electrons at one location, or remove electrons from one location. Shuffling your feet on a thick carpet can do this!
