TED-Ed: The science of static electricity - Anuradha Bhagwat

The video explains static electricity, starting with the basics of matter and atoms. It describes how charge imbalance occurs when electrons move between surfaces, leading to static discharge. The video differentiates between conductors and insulators, explaining how static buildup is more likely with insulators. It also covers static electricity in nature, particularly lightning, and how charge separation in clouds can lead to this phenomenon.
