Electrostaticity



I know that theseblogs are supposed to be about Physics in everyday life, but when I first thought of electrostatic in my life I didn't know what to think of. Plus, doc said that this is the hardest chapter, so I am not looking forward to it. The only thing that I can think of is magnets. Magnetics have electric charge right? That's why magents stick on refrigerators and are put in generators for power. Somewhere in my house I also have a shocking pen, that transfers a charge into the person that clicks it, which I think is electric. Plus batteries have charges, because they have the positive and negative sides that have the flow of electrons that produce a charge. I was just thinking...what would happen if you put a magnet on a battery? I don't know. But sometimes on TV people put there tongue on the battery and get shocked. I don't think that's true, but I don't want to try it. Hopefully we will learn some of this stuff in our labs (i need a better lab group). I just read the ebook, and printers are charged too.
