What I have learned from static electricity is that atoms are found in many objects, you can shock other people if you walk across a carpet with socks, and even though plastic is an insulator, it can still help build a strong charge when using an electroscope and a balloon.
- static electricity is vital to humans because our lives would be different and we would have to do things a lot differently.
- when you rub two objects together, they will either repel, attract, or they won’t do anything.
- To make sure you wouldn’t have a chance of being shocked, you should be standing on something that is an insulator
The electroscope lab because it showed us what two objects combined together, can cause two pieces of aluminum foil to repel each other or are just a poor pair.
