STATIC ELECTRICITY STATIC ELECTRICITY Above the title on WB p. 62 write the following: • Static electricity accumulated on an object to form an electric charge • Charges are stationary  which means static electricity does NOT move through wires Examples: • Lightning during thunderstorms • Static cling when emptying the dryer RECALL: ATOMS Matter is made up of atoms. The atom is made up of: protons, electrons, and neutrons. Most of the mass of an atom and the positively charged proton are found in the nucleus. Moving around the nucleus are very small negatively charged electrons. RECALL: ATOMS The total negative charge in the electron is equal to the total positive charge on the protons. All objects normally contain the same number of protons and electrons, therefore they are neutral (uncharged).
