When a large build up of electrons jumps you get this?
Sparks! And when the distance is large enough, lightning!
Give the relationship between electrostatic and magnetostatic?
like magnets, two non conductive materials containing an electrostratic charge attract each other. if how ever something non conductive with an electrostatic charge touches something conductive it will discharge its built up electrostatic charge to attempt equalization or neutrality. ( what is felt when you touch a door handle and shock yourself. this is electrostatic charge built up in your body discharging on something or someone conductive.) when two people shock each other they arent conductive. there different static charges try and equalize.
How does static charge build up in a thundercloud?
the atoms electrons start to build up until there is an excess of electrons, then there is a discharge and the lightning is grounded by hitting the closest thing to the ground.
Why are you more likely to receive a shock after walking across a carpet when the air is dry when the air is humid?
Walking across the carpet causes charges to build up on your body. On a humid day the water molecules in the air tend to be attracted to the excess charge, even though they are neutral they are polar and will still move toward a source of charge. when they contact the charged object they pick up some of the excess charge and carry it away. This constant draining of charge makes it much harder to build up the proper amount of charge to get a nice noticeable shock.also because it its like that

Why is build up of electrostatic charge on the aircraft dangerous?
High static build-up could damage sensitive equipment - or give misleading readings.
What is a build up of charges on an object?
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
Accumulation of electric charges on a object?
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
Can a comb pick up bits of cork?
Because of electrostatic forces between two objects, when at least one of them carries a net electrostatic charge.
How can you cause charge to build up on an object?
you build up another object
Why it is dangerous to touch the knob of aeroplane during flight?
When the aeroplane is in flight, the friction between the moving plane and the surrounding molecules causes a build up of a charge on the plane. This electrostatic force can have the same effect as a current in a wire.
How does a Van de Graaff generator build up a static charge?
A Van de Graaff generator operates by transferring electric charge from a moving belt to a terminal, usually, a hollow metal ball. It is an electrostatic generator, similar in principle to what happens when you rub your feet against a carpet and touch your cat!
What is present when there is a build up of charge?
Increasing debt.
What is electric charge build up one place?
builds a charge in one place
What elements that build up electrical discharge?
Electrons build up electrical discharge. They carry negative charge.
How does static electricity build up in clouds?
Lightning
