Question

Sometimes, any one kind of charge can gather in a place. When this happens, we call it ____________ ______________________, which is a form of energy.

A. Static electricity
B. Kinetic energy
C. Nuclear fusion
D. Gravitational potential energy

Answer 1

The gathering of one kind of charge in a place is known as static electricity, a form of energy which is distinct from kinetic and gravitational potential energies.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a gathering of one kind of charge occurs in a place, it is known as static electricity, which is a type of energy. This is different from other forms of energy such as kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion from moving objects, or gravitational potential energy, which is the energy stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field. Electrical potential energy is similar to gravitational potential energy but is due to the object's position in an electric field, which when moved or changed, allows the object to do work using the potential energy converted to kinetic energy.
