Electrical bonding

Hi there kiddo! Today we're going to learn about electrical bonding.

Have you ever played with magnets? You know how sometimes one magnet is attracted to another magnet?

Well, in a way, electrical bonding is just like that! Electrical bonding is when two (or more) pieces of metal are attracted to each other because of their electrical charges.

You see, all metal has electrical charges in it. Sometimes the charges in one piece of metal are different from the charges in another piece of metal. When this happens, the two pieces of metal will try to attract each other!

But, just like magnets, sometimes the attraction can be too strong. This is why we use electrical bonding to make sure the pieces of metal stay securely connected to each other.

When we bond two pieces of metal, we use a special wire or material that can carry electrical charges through it. This way, the charges in one piece of metal can travel through the wire and attract the charges in the other piece of metal.

So, not only does electrical bonding help keep the pieces of metal connected to each other, it also helps make sure they stay safe and don't spark or cause any electrical issues.

Pretty cool, huh? Now you know all about electrical bonding like a big kid!
