Static electricity is usually caused when certain materials are rubbed against each other, like wool on plastic or the soles of your shoes on the carpet. The process causes electrons to be pulled from the surface of one material and relocated on the surface of the other material.

The material that loses electrons ends up with an excess of positive (+) charges. The material that gains electrons ends up an excess of negative (-) charges on its surface.Rubbing certain materials together can cause the buildup of electrical charges on the surfaces. Opposite charges attract and same charges repel. Either charge will be attracted to something of neutral charge. Sparks are an extreme case of electrons being attracted to an object that has a positive charge.

here is the main valuable static can charge would be created with some factor in the homestead. discover an old television that still working. decrease the extreme voltage cable on the connector faraway from the image tube (warning: asking somebody who understand digital to do it,it has 24000 volts can charge in the image tube even the skill is OFF). After the cable is faraway from image tube,with the skill OFF,cable is risk-free to be touched . Now do away with a million/2 inch plastic insulate from end of the extreme voltage cable the place merely decrease faraway from the image tube. Tight this bare end cable far faraway from any steel factors of television (save a minimum of one foot distance) with good plastic pole and help it properly. discover an electric powered fan and putting it 2 ft faraway from the extreme voltage cable tip. Now turn on the fan and television set. interior of one minute,the room would be crammed with advantageous ions can charge (static). those +ion would be caught by any clothing and the physique shall carry 2000 volts or extra static can charge consult with floor.

by rubbing 2 things to another

if you are a boy, ask a girl to borrow her hair for a while but do not cut her hair,then,get a comb and rub it on an object as fast as you can then put near the comb into her hair you can observe that her hair will stick into that comb,....as easy as that
