Static electricity

If an object has the same number of positive and negative charges, its electrical charge is...

• positive
• negative
• neutral or no charge
• opposite

What charge does a proton have?

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

What charge does an electron have?

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

Static electricity is 

• The balance of electrical charge on an object
• The imbalance of electrical charge on an object
• The discharge of electrical charge
• The build up of protons in the nucleus of an atom
