CHARGiNG BY FRiCTiON: blog 9 :)

A few weeks ago, my friends and I got together for a "just dance 2" party. In this video, Zach and Evan are dancing to "Its Raining Men"; while the dance itself was really funny, it was even funnier when people started "zapping" each other. While we were dancing, we became charged by friction. The carpet rubbing against Zach's socks made him extra charged, and showed how rubbing two materials together causes the transfer of charge from one object to another. When two materials rub against each other, one will want to hold on to its electrons, while the other will let go of its electrons.
