today me and my class have been learning about static electricity here is a
piece on writing i did about Static electricity.
STATIC ELECTRICITY / ELECTRICITY
Static electricity is a build up of an electrical charge from the surface of an object.
The reason it is called static electricity is because static electricity stays in one area and does not move or flow.
Atoms are made up of Electrons,Neutrons, and Protons the only difference is that the Electrons move around on the outside.
Items of different charges (positive/negative) will attract each other say for example at the back of the remote there is a place where the charges go, well on the batteries at the end of each tip there is either a (+ plus sign) or a (- negative sign) then if you look at the back of the remote there will be a little swirly thingy that is where the plus side will go, then at the other end of the remote there will be like a little bump that is where the negative side will go BUT if you put the positive & positive together they will repell each other but if you put negative and positive together they will attract each other.
Did you know that lightning is a type of static electricity. Most lightning happens inside a cloud, but sometimes it happens between the cloud and the ground. A build up of positive charge builds up on the ground beneath the cloud, attracted to the negative charge in the bottom of the cloud. Did you know that 70% of people have been struck by lightning. Did you know that if you get struck by lightning than you are most likely to survive.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
