Tonight, my son got electrocuted! He put a small wire on the socket, to test what will happen to him if he got electrocuted!!! Imagine that?!? His dad got so mad at him, he was punished right away and asked to stand in the corner.
When I finally got to talk to him, and asked him why he did that, he said, it was because one time he experienced static electricity, and his dad told him that it was just static electricity and it was nothing. So...a child with an ever curious mind, would of course try what Enzo just did.
So parents, be careful with what you tell your kids. Of course, there was no way for me and my husband to know that he would compare static electricty and the real electricity, but maybe we could have explained it further or could have anticipated something like this, especially if your kid is as curious as mine.
According to Google, static electricity, is electricity at rest. It is generated by friction or sudden contact - for instance rubbing 2 materials together. Cuurent electricity on the otherhand, is a phenomenon of moving electrons in a particular path, or direction, such as a stream of them flowing through conducting materials.
