    Static Electricity Everything is made up of tiny particles called atoms. The atoms are made up of even smaller parts called protons‚ electrons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge (+)‚ electrons have a negative charge (-) and neutrons have no charge at all‚ they are neutral. Atoms normally have the same amount of electrons and protons‚ making them neutral and having no charge. When rubbing things together‚ electrons can move from one atom to another‚ resulting in some atoms having extra

    Electricity and Magnetism History Electromagnetism Originally electricity and magnetism were thought of as two separate forces. This view changed‚ however‚ with the publication of James Clerk Maxwell’s 1873Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism in which the interactions of positive and negative charges were shown to be regulated by one force. There are four main effects resulting from these interactions‚ all of which have been clearly demonstrated by experiments: 1. Electric charges attract

    2 devices that use static electricity to funtion 1. Van de Graaff generator When the motor is turned on‚ the lower roller (charger) begins turning the belt. The belt is made of rubber and the lower roller is covered in silicon tape‚ the lower roller begins to build a negative charge and the belt builds a positive charge. Silicon is more negative than rubber so the lower roller is receiving electrons from the belt when it goes over the roller. The positively charged atomic nuclei‚ try to

    Electricity was first researched by Thales of Miletos around 600BC. He conducted a few experiments on static electricity in which he believed that friction made amber become magnetized. Other than the fact that people knew that eels produced electric shocks‚ electricity was little more than an intellectual curiosity for over 2000 years. Until 1600 when someone from England discovered the lodestone effect when amber with static would attract small objects towards it. In the 18th century‚ Benjamin
