Question

How is static electricity created?

a. Two objects that are both positively charged repel each other and release
electric energy.


b. Two objects that are both negatively charged become attracted and create a
spark.

c.
Two highly conductive materials are placed within close proximity of one
another.
d. Friction between two objects causes a transfer of electrons from one object to
the other.
.

Answer 1

d. Friction between two objects causes a transfer of electrons from one object to the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

If electrons are transferred by rubbing two objects together, the result of the friction is that one object becomes positively charged by losing electrons, and the other object becomes negatively charged by gaining them. This is known as static electricity.

Answer 2

d

Step-by-step explanation:

So, when a person or any object has extra electrons, it creates a negative charge. These electrons thus get attracted to positive electrons (as opposite attracts) of another object or person and vice versa. The shock that we feel sometimes is the result of the quick movement of these electrons.

The rubbing of certain materials against one another can transfer negative charges, or electrons. For example, if you rub your shoe on the carpet, your body collects extra electrons.
