Electricity Questions

*Static electricity is the power generated as a surplus or decrease in the amount of electrons go from one object to another, usually movement attracts one to another. The energy is released when an opposite of two charged objects make some sort of connection between the two surfaces. The release in energy can be a large amount or just a small amount small in touching a door handle and large as in lightning. Electricity is the term described to the process of moving the electrons from one location to another sometimes visible but not always. The flowing movement could be seen as the electricity to describe its tendency.

To make an electromagnet in my house I would use an iron nail, and wrap a lot of wire around it and then attempt to run a electric charge through it using a battery. The experiment most interesting to me was the foil experiment to test and see if an object was an insulator or a conduit where the foil moves up or down in jar. To see the foil move would be the interesting portion.
