The remarkable adhesion might be due to static electricity. Gecko feet are covered with microscopic hairs. When these hairs rub against a surface, charges separate, with the hair developing a positive charge and negative charge forming below the surface. There is an attractive force between the separated charges. This is an effective means of adhering to a surface, but it comes at a cost: Two planes of charge are like two charged plates of a capacitor, which takes energy to charge. Doubling the amount of charge on each surface increases the attractive force, but also increases the energy required to separate the charge. Part A By what factor does this energy increase?
