Static Electricity : Static electricity is the build up of an electrical charge on
the surface of an object. We see static electricity everyday. When our dry
hairs are dressed with a plastic comb, hairs get charged. Lightning is a
powerful form of static electricity. Atoms are made up of tiny particles called
neutrons, protons and electrons. The neutrons and protons together form the
nucleus. The electrons revolve around the outside of the nucleus. A static
charge is formed when two surface are rubbed against each other and the
electrons move from one object to another.

The resistivity of a material is found to be dependent on the temperature. Different
materials do not exhibit the same dependence on temperature. Over a limited
range of temperatures, that is not too large, the resistivity ofa metallic conductor is
approximately given by pepoll+a(T-T,)]
Where p, is the resistivity at a temperature T and p,is the same at a reference
temperature T,. a is called the temperature co-efficient of resistivity. For the
metals ais positive, meaning that resistivity increase with increasing temperature.
