5. What do you know about static electricity?

6. Facts to Know electrical charge – basic property of the tiny particles that make up matter; this charge can be positive or negative 0pposite charges – attract same charges – repel (push away from each other) static electricity – the build up of charges in one place; the imbalance of charges Negative charges move, but positive charges do not.

7. Examples of static charges

8. Static Electricity What would happen if you combed your hair, then moved the charged comb close to your hair? If you take clothes out of the dryer when they are slightly damp, they don’t stick together. Why not?

9. Answers: The opposite charges would cause the comb to attract the hair. Charges can’t be rubbed off unless the clothes are completely dry.
