Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Charges can redistribute themselves to create static electricity in four different ways: friction, conduction, induction, and polarization.
- Frictional charging is the process of moving electrons from one chargeless object to another by rubbing the two together. (Example: When two objects rub against each other, some electrons may transfer (hair and balloon)
- Conduction charging is the direct transmission of electrons from one item to another. (Example: when you massage your feet on the carpet, the charges travel to your hands.)
- Induction charging: Without physically touching the charged object, electrons can respond to its electric field. Electrons can easily break out from their atoms in some materials, such as metals. When a negatively charged thing is near a metal object, the field repels electrons, causing them to migrate away from it. (Example: The metal object develops a positive charge at its close end and a negative charge at its far end. We refer to this procedure as induction.)
- Polarisation charging: Electrons only travel within their own atoms when other materials are being charged by polarization. Individual atoms develop charged ends as a result of the electrons' reactions to electric fields, which attract other charged objects. Polarization exists here. Neither polarisation nor induction alters the overall charge of the items since charges don't transfer between them.
