Static Electricity Quizizz

"static" in static electricity refers to electric charges that are

• built up

• moving in a circuit

• being created

• destroyed

Static electricity is generated by an imbalance of what property of an object?

• Friction

• Electrical charge

• Protons

• Magnetism

Answer explanation

Static electricity arises from an imbalance of electrical charge on an object. When objects gain or lose electrons through friction, they become charged, leading to static electricity.

• In an atom

• In air

• In a liquid

• In a battery

• In a chair
