What is static electricity?
Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material.
True or false: Static electricity can cause sparks.
True, because a sudden discharge of static electricity can create a spark.
Charge transfer occurs during...
contact, induction, or friction.
Difference between conductors and insulators
Conductors allow electric charges to flow freely; insulators do not.
What is an electric charge?
An electric charge is a physical property of particles that causes them to experience a force in an electromagnetic field.
Fill in the blank: An object with a negative charge has...
more electrons than protons.
What causes static cling?
Static cling occurs when different materials transfer electrons, causing attraction.
What happens when two negatively charged objects are brought together?
They repel each other due to like charges.
True or false: Static electricity is always harmful.
False, because while it can cause shocks, it is not always dangerous.
What is grounding?
Grounding is the process of connecting an object to the Earth to safely discharge static electricity.
What is the triboelectric effect?
The triboelectric effect refers to the charging of materials by friction.
True or false: Lightning is a form of static electricity.
True, because lightning is a large discharge of static electricity.
Electrons carry a...
negative charge.
What is induction?
Induction is the process of charging an object without direct contact.
Fill in the blank: The unit of electric charge is...
the coulomb (C).
Which material is a good insulator?
Rubber, glass, and plastic are good insulators.
What is a Van de Graaff generator?
A device that produces high voltages of static electricity.
