Lightning, of course, is simply a huge discharge of static electricity. In its nature, it's no different from the spark from your finger to a doorknob; the difference is only in scale. The current flow is from the sky to the earth (or earth to sky depending on how you view it technically, which is immaterial to this discussion), via the path of least resistance--which for a number of reasons, is not always the shortest, or straightest. The air is a relatively high resistance medium, so the lightning will "prefer" most any solid object, such as house, tree, or human body. The current creates an enormous amount of heat in whatever it passes through, and this is generally what causes the problem, e.g., fire, explosion, etc. Thunder, like the "crack" you hear when your fingertip discharges to the doorknob, is the sound of superheated air expanding explosively. A living body, of course, like electronic devices, is further disrupted by the presence of the voltage/current itself. A lightning rod, then, is simply an effort to offer the discharge an easier path than through an object which might be damaged or destroyed by it.
It usually does that because it's the highest thing around.
.....When there is a point on a conductor charge can gather more there, causing the air around the conductor/lighting rod, to ionize....Ionized air allowed the flow of charge very easily so it will flow through the air to the rod and into the ground. A simple explaination is that it will strike the highest thing because it is the easiest and shortest path to the ground.
whats is the definition of a region
Something very interesting about Lightning Whelks is that when they lay their eggs it looks like a snake's shed skin. Once the babies come out of it, it could be mistaken for snake skin.
I have never read of anyone trying to "generate" static electricity in a vacuum. However, there are letters from Nikola Tesla to J J Thompson in the "electrical experimenter" magazine available online. Tesla talks about discharges in a vacuum like those you see in plasma balls etc.... He mentions using a wimshurst machine which is simply a static generator to create plasma in a vacuum tube.... he places the standard spark gap of the wimshurst "inside" a vacuum chamber to observe the effects. Static electricity can not necesarrily "stay" static within a vacuum. The big thing about the chamber is that its atmosphere is much less than that of normal air... so what would result as static build up in ambient pressures would result as a "plasma" type discharge in a vacuum... the big thing is that there is much less resistance inside a vacuum. But, if you have ever played with a plasma ball you know that there is a static build up on the outisde of the ball due to the smell of ozone (creation of negative ions)... also foil and other conductors can draw arcs off one another while near the surface of the plasma ball... the electricity acts like static electricity but it doesnt "go away" like standard statics... this is due to a capacitive reaction in the air around the plasma ball and the fact that the thing is being continuosly powered... you can collect static charge from a television screen in a similar way but a large discharge to a ground will sometimes make the screen go blank.... I guess the main point would be since magnetism and electromagnetism are essentially the same things at their core. The big question becomes, "would whats on the inside effect things on the outside" and vice versa... the answer would have to be yes... saying no to that would be essentially the same thing as saying if i put a piece of glass in between a piece of metal and a strong magnet it wont be attracted because the glass would block it... This is where it gets into the un researched realm..... there are.... well, WERE, many interesting scientists that did research on the electrical effects inside a vacuum chamber... the one thing nobody has ever done is re-create teslas experiment where he took his most powerful high frequency coil and powered a single light bulb with it... he describes it in his own words and it did NOT burn out blow up or fail in any way.... it apparently ended up becoming his basis for his wardenclyffe tower... you will notice in the old photos of wardenclyffe that the top of the tower is covered with "bulbs" and im pretty sure he wasnt just making "light" with those bulbs...
Static friction does not apply when the block is already moving. Without friction, the force on the block parallel to the surface of the incline is Fg*sin(angle), so the acceleration without friction is 9.8* sin(30) = 9.8 * (1/2) = 4.9 Since it is accelerating at 3.2, friction is slowing down the block by (4.9-3.2 = 1.7). The coefficient of kinetic friction is (1.7/4.9) = 0.346939
You may have to locate the fuse box or circuit breaker box and reset or replace whats needed. Most outlets dont need to be reset unless they have little buttons on them, meaning it is a GFCI outlet - in which case it will have a little button that says reset on it.
Static electricity, when it is stuck to head that is whats holding it in place.
When you get zapped by static electricity, it means that there is an imbalance of electric charge on your body or on the object you touch. This causes a sudden flow of electrons to even out the charge, resulting in a small but quick electric shock or spark.
What's the purpose of electricity?
Beef its whats for dinner
yes
The tools that can be used for static code analysis are code analytics and Code Blocks. These two pieces of software can be used for static code analysis.
whats on the att basic electricity exam
we get to know whats going on around the world
i believe what you are referring to is whats called static electricity. now in certain man-made synthetics materials such as sports clothing's the material much like when you rub a balloon with pick up a static charge from the friction again your skin, hair and other clothing, that crackling sound you hear when you take it off is the static energy being released as the material touches itself. hope this helps
The connection between Eminem and John Cena is friendship. John Cena is a WWF wrestler.
they convert mechanical energy into electricity.
it means its stopped just re-set it/repair the network connection
