Question

Which of the following occurs due to static electricity? Question 9 options: lightening sunlight star light moon phases

Answer 1

Answer;

Lightening

Explanation;

• Static electricity occurs when there is an imbalance of positively and negatively charged atoms. Electrons then jump from atom to atom, releasing energy.
• Lightening occurs as a result of a build up of electric charge in a cloud. It occurs when negative charges jump from a cloud to the ground.
• The result of electrons moving from one place to another and cause a buildup of separated positive and negative charges creates a static charge.
