Rubbing materials creates static electricity, with Thales of Miletus observing the phenomenon and Charles du Fay identifying two types of charges, positive and negative. Different materials can be tested for charge by rubbing and observing attraction or repulsion with a balloon, and an electroscope can measure charges, showing the strength and type of charge present.
Insights
- Thales of Miletus discovered static electricity by rubbing a balloon on hair, naming it "Electron" after amber's effect on small objects.
- Charles du Fay classified charges as positive and negative, showing that rubbing materials creates frictional electricity and causes bodies to attract or repel based on their charge.

Ancient discovery of static electricity and charges
- Rubbing a balloon on hair creates static electricity, a phenomenon observed since ancient times by Thales of Miletus.
- Thales named the effect "Electron" after amber, which could lift small objects when rubbed with wool.
- Frenchman Charles du Fay discovered that rubbing materials creates frictional electricity, exchanging charges between bodies.
- Two types of charges are observed, named "positive" and "negative," with bodies attracting or repelling based on charge type.
- Different materials can be tested for charge by rubbing and observing attraction or repulsion with a balloon.
- An electroscope can measure charges, showing the strength and type of charge present, with positive charges represented in red and negative in blue.
