why does static electricity, the buildup of charge on a material's surface, occur in insulating material

1 answer:

7 0

When rubbing two insulators together, electrons from one insulator will be transfered to the other. so the insulator that has just received electrons now has a negative charge as it has received more electrons (making it more negative) the insulator that has just lost electrons has just become positively charged. NEVER SAY THAT PROTONS HAVE BEEN TRANSEFERD.... EVER. ONLY ELECTORNS ARE TRANSFERED.
