- Static Electricity
- Can cause little sparks or shocks
- clothing crackles
- synthetic clothes are dragged over each other or your head electrons get scrapped off leaving static charge
- causes attraction and little sparks as the charges rearrange
- synthetic clothes are dragged over each other or your head electrons get scrapped off leaving static charge
- car shocks
- between clothes and a synthetic car seat, the friction causes electrons to be scrapped off
- when you touch metal door the charge flows and it can give you a shock
- some cars have conducting strips which gives a safe discharge to Earth
- when you touch metal door the charge flows and it can give you a shock
- between clothes and a synthetic car seat, the friction causes electrons to be scrapped off
- shocks from door handles
- walking on nylon carpet wearing insulating soles in shoes causes transfer of electrons and charge to build up on you body
- then touching a metal door handle causes the charge to flow to conductor and gives you a shock
- walking on nylon carpet wearing insulating soles in shoes causes transfer of electrons and charge to build up on you body
- clothing crackles
- Electrically charged objects can attract other objects
- Balloons can stick to walls
- rubbing a balloon against hair or clothes cause electrons to be transferred to the balloon leaving it a negative charge
- when held up against a wall it will stick
- charges on surface of wall can move - negative charges repel balloon, positive charges attract
- when held up against a wall it will stick
- rubbing a balloon against hair or clothes cause electrons to be transferred to the balloon leaving it a negative charge
- charged comb can pick up small pieces if paper
- comb through your hair, electrons are transferred giving the comb a negative charge
- used to pick up little pieces of paper due to induction in the paper
- comb through your hair, electrons are transferred giving the comb a negative charge
- Induction
- using a charged object to force charges in an uncharged object to move
- Balloons can stick to walls
- Lightening
- rain and ice bump tether inside storm clouds knocking off electrons
- top of the cloud positively charged, bottom negatively charged
- Untitled
- top of the cloud positively charged, bottom negatively charged
- rain and ice bump tether inside storm clouds knocking off electrons
- Can cause little sparks or shocks
