Static Electricity
Subject and Topic
Description

In this lesson you will learn that:

  • Static electricity is a build-up of charge in an object.
  • The build-up pf charge is caused by insulating materials rub against each other.
  • The motion of these charges causes small shocks, lightening and sparks.
  • These charges can be detected. 
  • Certain materials can be classified as insulators, and others as conductors.
  • Capacitors are small devices in circuits which can store charge.
  • Lightning rods are used to allow charges from strikes to travel safely and dissipate in the Earth
