Friction & Static Electricity I Grade 8 Natural Sciences

#staticelectricity #electrostatic
Welcome to our deep dive into the world of static electricity! Ever wondered why a rubbed plastic comb attracts small pieces of paper or why you get a shock when you touch a doorknob? This video covers the basics of static electricity, exploring how friction between materials transfers electrons and creates positive and negative charges.
You’ll learn about:
The origin of electrical charges
How objects become positively or negatively charged through friction
The Law of Conservation of Charge
Real-world examples like rubbing a balloon or a plastic ruler
Stick around until the end for some questions to test your understanding. We’ll also preview the next video on the role of static electricity in lightning! Be sure to like, subscribe, and check out the playlist for more exciting science videos.
