Vacuum Cleaner

The simplest way to explain how a vacuum cleaner can suck up debris is to think of it like a straw. When you take a sip of drink through a straw, the action of sucking creates a negative air pressure inside the straw. A negative air pressure is lower than the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere.

A vacuum cleaner uses an electric motor that spins a fan and creates a region of low pressure inside its pipe, and the outside air pushes dust and dirt into the pipe.
