• Negative and Neutral
• Positive and Negative

What charge does a proton have?

• negative (-)
• positive (+)
• neutral or no charge (0)

What charge does an electron have?

• neutral or no charge (0)

Static electricity is:

• electricity flowing in a wire
• the buildup of electric charges on an object
• when protons move between objects

Two objects with LIKE static charges will

• attract each other
• even out in the end
• repel each other
• cause a spark

Which is an example of static dischage?

• a motor
• lightning
• thunder
• insulators

Materials that tightly hold on to their electrons are considered 

• Good conductors
• Good insulators
• Good anti-static agents
• Useful for storing charge

What is the major difference between static electricity and current electricity?

• Current electricity involves a continuous flow of neutrons; static electricity is a sudden transfer of protons
• Current electricity can be deadly; static electricity is almost always safe
• In current electricity, there's a single transfer of electrons; in static electricity, there's a steady flow of electrons
• Current electricity involves a flow of electrons; static electricity involves a single transfer of electrons
