Methods of Electrification
Electrification by Friction
This process involves the transfer of electrons, where one material loses electrons and another gains them.
Electrification by Induction
In this method, no electron transfer occurs between objects. Instead, there is a redistribution of existing electric charges within the body.
Electrification by Contact
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral body, negative charge is transferred from the charged body to the neutral one.
Lightning: Natural Electrical Discharges
Clouds become electrically charged by friction with air due to their motion. The top of a cloud often becomes positively charged, while the bottom accumulates negative charges. This charge separation, along with the Earth's surface,... Continue reading "Fundamentals of Electricity and Circuits" »
