 Static Electricity

You can do some simple experiments with static electricity. They work best on cold, dry days.

Rub a plastic comb hard with a woollen cloth.  

 
Bring the comb near to some small pieces of paper and find out what happens.  

 
     
Rub a sheet of paper hard with a brush. Bring a corner of it near to a table tennis ball. Notice what happens.  

 
     
Place a sheet of paper against a smooth painted wall. Hold it in place and rub it firmly with a brush. What happens when you take your hand away?
