Static Electricity Virtual Simulation for Physics Class

Static electricity is the accumulation of an electric charge on the surface of a material. The charge remains on the surface of the material until it is dissipated through an external pathway. Static electricity is generated when two materials are rubbed together, causing electrons to be transferred from one material to the other. The material that loses electrons becomes positively charged, while the material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged.
