Magnets & Static Electricity

The hairs have the same charge, causing them to repel each other and stand on end.

Some metals, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, are attracted to magnets.

The force is called repulsion.

It is likely made of aluminum or another non-magnetic material.

The area is called the magnetic field.

Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects.

It generates high voltages through the accumulation of static electricity.

Conductors allow electric charge to flow easily, while insulators resist the flow of electric charge.

Magnetic polarity refers to the orientation of the magnetic field, with a north and south pole.

Like poles repel each other, while unlike poles attract each other.
