Polarisation
Making one side of an object positive and the other negative: bring it close without
making contact, negatives will move away as far as possible, then the ballon becomes
polarised (created a positive and negative side)
-electrons are not being removed, just moved, the number of each still stays the same
Keep positive charges where they were, cannot move

The neutral will become polarised and the negatively charged is what does the things to
be done
(Make sure when drawing a near trail count all and make sure it is NEUTRAL)

Electrical discharge
Rapid transfer of electrons between two oppositely charged objects to distribute the
charges evenly
-biggest one you get is lightning (cloud is negative, water particles are rubbing against
each other and then the lightening is what is the effort of polarisation, the charges then
distribute)
-back lightening is most dangerous
-Tururu has most lightening strikes
The force of attraction causes electrons to move from substance to another to restore
the balance at a RAPID PACE
