- a lack of electrons = positive charge
- a excess of electrons = negative charge - 3What do atoms or molecules that are charged become?IONS
- 4How static can be a nuisance?-Dirt and dust attracted to insulators (plastic containers, TV monitors etc)
-Causing clothing to cling - 5How can static electricity be dangerous?-in atmospheres where explosions could occur (eg. inflammable gases or vapours or with high concentration of oxygen)
-in situtations where large quantities of charge could flow through the body to the earth (eg. airplanes) - 6How can you reduce the chance of receiving an electric shock?-correcting earthing
-use of insulating mats
-using shoes with insulting soles
