What is Static Electricity?
We don't draw atoms, just "+" and "–" to illustrate the overall charges
7
What is Static Electricity?
We don't draw atoms, just "+" and "–" to illustrate the overall charges e.g. a neutral object 5 + 5 - overall charge 0

What is Static Electricity?
We don't draw atoms, just "+" and "–" to illustrate the overall charges e.g. a positive object 5 + 3 - overall charge 2+
