Static electricity.
*Is created when an object gives up or gains electrons.
*Objects is made of atoms
Production of static electric charges
*When certain material are rubbed against each other, like wool on plastic, static electricity will be produced.
*The process causes electrons to be transfer from one material to another material.
*The material that loses electrons ends up with a positive charges.
*The material that gains electrons ends up with a negative charges.
*For example, a comb that has been rubbed with woolen cloth will attract neutral pieces of tissue when the comb is brought near to it.
Characteristics of static electric charges
Electristatics Forces.
*If two objects have different charges, they attract, or pull towards each other
*If two objects have the same charges, they repel, or push away from each other
