Static electricity

Question 1

What are electric forces

Answer 1

When ions create attractive and repulsive forces.

Question 2

What are magnetic forces

Answer 2

Attractive and repulsive forces between two poles

Question 3

What is electromagnetism

Answer 3

a force combing both electric and magnetic forces

Question 4

What type of charge is an electron?

what type of charged is a Proton?

Answer 4

Electron = negative
Proton = positive

Question 5

What are the 3 ways to transfer charges

Answer 5

Friction
Conduction
Induction

Question 6

What is friction

Answer 6

Transfer of electron through rubbing objects
ETC. Balloon and hair, Sock and carpet

Question 7

What is conduction

Answer 7

Transfer of electrons through direct contact
(can be friction as well)
Zapping someone after rubbing socks on carpet

Question 8

Induction

Answer 8

Transfer of electrons through an electric field over a distance.
This creates polarization
ETC. The stick and paper dots thingy

Question 9

What is polarization

Answer 9

When the electrons within a neutrally charged object shift their position relative to the protons
Simplified: when the protons move to one side of a neutrally charged object and the electrons move to the other side of the object

Question 10

what is static discharge

Answer 10

sudden flow of electric charge between two objects
one thing zap onto another thing
ETC. lighting
