question 7 of 20
which statement describes an example of static electricity?
a. electrons move from one end of a copper wire to another.
b. wind turns a generator, causing electrons to flow into power lines.
c. when a light switch is flipped, electrons flow to a lightbulb.
d. positively and negatively charged particles are attracted to each other.

Explanation:

Static electricity involves the attraction or repulsion of charged particles that are not in continuous motion (like in a current). Options A, B, and C describe electron flow (current electricity). Option D describes the attraction between charged particles (a key aspect of static electricity).

Answer:

D. Positively and negatively charged particles are attracted to each other.
