1. Static Electricity

2. Electricity: Involves the movement of electrons. Only electrons
can move because they are not
locked up in the nucleus.

3. Electrostatics The study of static electric charges Everything has
both positive & negative.
Usually, objects are electrically neutral:
positive charge = negative charge

4. Electrostatics Sometimes free electrons [(-)charges]
move from one
substance to another.
If an object loses
electrons, it will become
positively charged
If an object gains electrons, it will
become negatively charged.
