What is used to describe the buildup of electrical charges on objects due to friction?

Static electricity is used to describe the buildup of electrical charges on objects due to friction. This phenomenon occurs when two objects rub against each other, leading to the transfer of electrons and the creation of an electric charge on the objects.


Describe the effect of having or loose contracts in electric circuits?

Loose contacts can act like on/off switches in the circuit as they make/break connection. In sensitive circuits, the added resistance during contact may also affect the performance of the circuit itself, particularly if Resistance is part of the circuit design.


Describe the relationship of the parts of an electrical current?

I assume you mean Voltage, Current and Resistance. Voltage (E)or electromagnetic force is the electrical pressure or force that forces the electrons through any given circuit Current (I)is the flow of those electrons through any given circuit Resistance (R) is anything within the circuit that would restrict the flow of electrons


Describe electrical charges particles of the atom?

Atoms are composed of three main types of particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive electrical charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The positive charge of the protons is balanced by the negative charge of the electrons, creating a neutral atom overall.


What is the difference between grounding and earthing?

Grounding and earthing are terms used interchangeably to describe the process of connecting an electrical system to the ground to prevent electrical shock and protect against power surges. Grounding typically refers to the practice of connecting electrical circuits to the earth, while earthing is more commonly used in European countries to describe the same process. Both grounding and earthing serve the same purpose of providing a safe path for electrical currents to flow into the ground, reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
