Static Electricity
23 - 27. What are the missing words in this paragraph? |
 |
| The plastic sheet here gains a postive charge when rubbed with a cloth. |
| Static electricity is produced by movement of
. |
|
In this example these particles move from
when the plastic is rubbed. |
|
A static charge normally only builds up on
. |
|
Charge is measured in
