Ms Pippin rubbed two balloons with a piece of wool. What will happen when the balloons are brought near each other?

The balloons will repel each other.

The balloons will attract each other.

The balloons will become positively (+) charged.

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

Current electricity involves a flow of electrons; static electricity involves a single transfer of electrons

Current electricity involves a continuous flow of elecrons; 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

What happens when you touch a metal doorknob after rubbing your shoes on the carpet?

Millions of electrons go from your finger into the doorknob
