STATIC ELECTRICITY
by Rebecca Torelli
1. Electrostatic is not about "staticness" instead it's about charge and force
2. Inside matter, the positive and negative charges are close together, and so their effects cancel out
3. When there is imbalance between opposite charges "static electricity" appears
4. It is the separation between positive and negative particles which is the basis for "static electricity"
5. Charges which are separated or imbalanced can sometimes flow along
6. Charge-flow and charge-imbalance can happen in the same wire at the same time
7. Is a collection of different electrical phenomenal
8. The amounts of positive and positive and negative electric charge within a material are not perfectly equal
9. Where voltage is high and current is low
10. Where electrical forces (attraction and repulsion) are seen to reach across space
11. Where electric fields became very important
12. Also has another name: "high voltage"
13. Pure "electrostatic" phenomena involve electrical voltages with zero current
14. Pure electric current involves a current with zero voltage
