What are facts about static electricity?

Answer 1

1. Made up of atoms.
2. In side of the atoms there are protons, electrons, and neutrons. The protons are positively charged, the electrons are negatively charged, and the neutrons are neutral.
3. Rubbing of certain materials against one another can transfer negative charges, or electrons.
4. If you rube your shoe or hand on the carpet your body collects electrons. The electrons cling to your body unit they are released. Ex: Touching something.
5. It makes your hair stand up and when it does, it is charged, your hair tries to get as far away as they can.
6. When you walk in from a cold winter day, and take your hat off in a warm room. BOING! your hair stands up again its charged.
7. How fast does it move? (3.4)
8. If you rube your feet on carpet you get all charged up with static electrity.
9. Builds up of electrical charges on the surface of non-conducting materials.
10. Has almost no current.

Answer 2

Static electricity is caused by an imbalance of positive and negative charges on the surface of objects. It can build up when certain materials are rubbed together, causing electrons to transfer between them. Static electricity can result in effects like attraction (such as when a balloon sticks to a wall after being rubbed) or spark discharges (like lightning).
