Static Electricity Dicity

Static electricity is usually caused by the irritation of electrons stored within an object. A good example of this is rubbing your foot on carpet and then touching an object that is conductive with protons. The electrons are attracted to this source and flow directly towards the positive energy.

Making an electromagnet from home items would not be hard at all. Finding an acidic base such as a lemon or something similar would be used as the container. From here you would need conductive metals that attract protons and electrons. You would then create an electrical flow when fully circulating the loop.

Out of the book the one assignment that I would love to do at home the most was the last one, the interactive street light assignment.
