What discharges static electricity?

A static charge is just an excess (or lack) of electrons from the surface atoms of a substance, always a non-conductor. The discharge occurs when the "free" electrons find a low resistance path to ground.


Is static electricity is an excess of charge?

Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.


The loss of static electricity as a charge move off an object?

The loss of static electricity as a charge moves off an object is known as an electro static discharge.


What to do about static electricity?

You can ground the item that has a build up of the static charge. Ground straps are typically worn when working on static-discharge sensitive components like circuit boards in a server. Otherwise, ground the item to discharge the static charge. Note that the correct term is "static charge", which refers to the buildup or deficiency of electrons on a charged body.


What is the movement of static charge from one place to another?

Static Discharge:Perhaps you see a spark jump between your hand and the doorknob. The spark is an example of an electric discharge. An electric discharge is the movement of static charge from one place to another. The spark you saw was the result of a static charge moving between your hand and the doorknob.


a current through a circuit with a static discharge?

Compare and contrast a current traveling through a circuit with a static discharge. Both are a movement of electrons from the negative to the positive charge. A circuit has a continuous current provided by a voltage source. A static discharge is a very rapid, non-continuous transfer of charge.


How does static elctricity related to charge?

Generally, static electricity is an excess of positive charges to be held in a material.


What is happening when you walk across a carpet and receive a shock when you touch a metal object?

Walking across a nylon carpet can cause charge separation between you and the carpet. You take on an electrostatic charge as a result. Touching a door knob allows that charge you accumulated to neutralize via a discharge event. The static discharge is the electric shock.


What is the difference between static electricity and electric discharge?

A static discharge is an accumulation of static electricity that discharges when negative electrons connect with the positive protons.
