a NATURAL form of static electricity is ___________________.
hint (happens during thunderstorms)
lightening
What type of energy is produced when this circuit is closed?
radiant (light) energy
Which circuit would light the bulb?

Why is paperclip 3 holding the most paper clips?
the wire is wrapped around the nail more, creating a stronger electromagnet
copper is often wrapped in plastic (such as a phone charger). Plastic is used because it is a good ______________________
insulator (it keeps the electrons inside the wire, keeping it safe and not 'exposed')
If you walk across carpet wearing socks and then touch a piece of metal like a doorknob you might get shocked! What causes this?
static electricity (imbalance of electrons)
