Q

How do you make static electricity

A

If you rub two insulators against each other, the electrons will be transferred from one to another. One of the insulators will end up with extra electrons, make it negatively charged, and making it have static electricity. Protons do not get transferred.

Q

Describe how to measure charge,

A

The current flowing through a component in a circuit is measured using an ammeter. The ammeter can be placed anywhere in the circuit.

Q

How to calculate charge flow

A

Charge flow (coulombs / c) = current (Amps / a ) x time (second / s)
