Static Electricity

Hagar · 2007-07-31 11:56:26

Not really a joke more a clever pun really. If you stroke a kitten's fur with a piece of silk you will generate a static electric charge. Will this charge be positive or negative? Answer: Me. coat, door. very fast car to the airport...

Answer:
It will be positive. Everyone knows that cat-ions are atoms or group of atoms that bear a positive electric charge.
