Charging by Induction

Physics Uncovered on Instagram: "Electrostatic friction is one of the subtle forces that helps objects stay put — even when the surface seems smooth. When two materials come into contact, electrons can transfer between them. This creates tiny patches of positive and negative charge. Those opposite charges attract each other, adding a small “electrostatic grip” on top of normal friction. That’s why things like paper, plastic, or your phone case sometimes cling to a table, a screen, or even your c
