Activity: Why do clothes develop static cling in a dryer?
In this hands-on activity, students will construct an electroscope and use a charged balloon to develop an understanding of Coulomb’s law. Students will then apply their results to explain why dryers cause so much static electricity to accumulate, and why clothes stick together as a result.
