Final answer:
Of the options given, 'formation of static electricity' does not describe a principle involving electric current and Ohm's Law, making it the incorrect statement regarding the basic principles of electricity.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question addresses the basic principles of electricity and asks which of the following statements is not true: a. turning on a light switch, b. solar panels at work, c. formation of static electricity, d. none of the above. To answer this, we need to consider the concept of electric current and Ohm's Law, as well as conservation of electric charge (Essential Knowledge 5.C.2). Electric current is the movement of electric charge, which is fundamental to most electrical phenomena including those created when a light switch is turned on or when solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy. On the other hand, static electricity is the result of electric charges that are not moving, which is a different concept from electric current. The statement regarding the formation of static electricity does not describe the basic principles involving the movement of charge or electric current, making it the exception.
