5 Questions
What is electricity and what is its relationship with electrons?
Electricity is the flow of electrons in a circuit, and it is a form of energy. Electrons are the fundamental cause of electricity.
What is static electricity and how is it formed?
Static electricity is formed when electrons are moved from one place to another, usually by rubbing or brushing. It occurs due to the contact between equal amounts of protons and electrons, which are positively and negatively charged subatomic particles.
What is the difference between friction and non-friction in relation to static electricity?
Friction occurs when opposite nature particles (+,-) come into contact, while non-friction occurs when same-kind particles (+,+ or -,-) come into contact.
What is current electricity and how does it flow?
Current electricity is the flow of electrons in a conductor. It is the constant flow of electric charge across an electrical field. This flow of electric charge causes the conductor to heat up.
What is the history of electricity and how was it discovered?
The history of electricity dates back to 600 BC when people discovered static electricity by rubbing a hard fossilized resin (Amber) against a fur cloth, which attracted particles of straw.
