Study Notes
Static Electricity
- Static electricity is the build-up of electric charges on a material.
- These charges can remain stationary until discharged.
- Objects can become charged by friction.
- Examples of static electricity include lightning and shocks from touching a metal object.
- Static electricity is caused by the imbalance of protons and electrons.
- Materials can either be conductors or insulators.
- Conductors allow electric charges to move freely - for example, metals.
- Insulators block the movement of electric charge - for example, plastic.
