Question

1. Define static electricity

2. List the methods through which static electricity can be transmitted
thank you :)

Answer 1

1. Static electricity is a familiar electric phenomenon in which charged particles are transferred from one body to another. For example, if two objects are rubbed together, especially if the objects are insulators and the surrounding air is dry, the objects acquire equal and opposite charges…

2.1) Friction – The rubbing together of surfaces transfers electrons from one object to another.

2) Conduction – Electrons flow freely through one object to another. Conductors allow charges to move easily .
