Van De Graaff

Today in class as we used the Van De Graff object, I noticed myself very intrigated into the things that were going on. First thing I noticed was how the electricity was moving throughout these objects. It went from the electricity plug, to the cables that connected to the machine, this electricity traveled through a belt and the electrons from this belt were given to a piece of metal that gave the electricity to the giant metal ball. When a conductor was near this giant ball negative energy {electricity} was released to this object. I think that the physics behind this process is how the neutrons flow from the electricity all the way to this ball and it is released to other objects while being visible as well.
