What is National Static Electricity Day?
National Static Electricity Day is on January 9th, which may be a little surprising, but it is still on January 9th. The observance investigates static electricity and even how we might cause it.
Static electricity is different from the electrical current carried by wires through a building or transmitted by the electric companies. When the positive and negative charges of an atom are out of balance, static electricity is produced. Static electricity is produced.
The atoms of some materials' atoms hold their electrons tightly. Insulators are made of plastic, fabric, glass, or glass. Although electrons of these compounds don't move very freely, electrons of other materials, such as metal, move more freely and are designated conductors.
We transfer electrons between two insulators by rubbing two insulators together, resulting in positive and negative charges. Opposites do attract. Opposites do attract. Atoms charged with a positive charge are attracted to atoms with a negative charge. If we rub a balloon head, we can see the results. The hair clings to the balloon as we remove the balloon from the balloon.
The balloon can be removed from the balloon, and the hair will stand on end. In this situation, the hair has the same charge (either positive or negative).. Items with the same charge repel each other.
