One technological use of static electricity is in car painting, where the spray nozzle is connected to a negative electrode. The car part is charged with opposite charge, where the paint droplets are attracted to the car body part.

What force is related to or caused by electric charges that do not move?
An electrostatic charge, that is one not caused by a flow of current
Static in static electricity describes what property of the charge?
The "static" in static electricity describes that the charge is unmoving, or staying in one place. A movement of electrons is not occuring, however there is an electrical charge. The opposite would be current electricity that flows, and that you would find in electric cords, etc...
Who created the term electricity and when?
Electricity has always existed. No one invented or created it. And since people have known about lightning and static electricity since time immemorial, it would be hard to say when it was first discovered.
Why do you get an electric shook when you brush against another person?
Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges on a surface of a material. The charge stays there until it connects to another surface. It makes a shock because one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electrical currents.
What is the difference between static and current electricty?
Current electricity- is powered by things like power plants, wind mills, solar energy, and burning fossil fuels. Current electricity is used to power things like light bulbs, televisions, and kitchen products. Static Electricity- is powered by electrons moving from one thing to another and there is not enough power to power things we use everyday.
How many different types of static electricity is there?
There is one that I know of. It is Plasma static electricity
What is the loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another?
Static electricity
Can you give me 1 example of static electricity?
One example of static electricity is when you drag your feet across the floor and then shock someone. The shock is the static electricity.
Is polyester a conductor of static electricity?
Not a good one. The phrase "conductor of static electricity" is basically nonsense. If something conducts electricity, then it conducts electricity.
Who discovered electricity not static electricity?
Albert Edison is the one who discovered electricity.
Kinds of elictricity?
kinds of electricity? what is electricity?
What kind of electricity?
Static is one type
Difference between static electricity and dynamic electricity?
There are two types of electricity; dynamic and static electricity. The main difference between these two types is that in static electricity, the electrons do not move but in dynamic electricity, the electrons move either in changing directions or in one direction.
The buildup of electric charges in one place?
positive energy!!! static electricity
How is static electricity differes from current electricity?
Static electricity is the BUILT UP STORE of electron charges [e-] between a pair of objects, while current electricity is the FLOW of electrons between these objects. Static electricity is a transfer of charge from one static body to another, resulting in an imbalance in positive and negative charges, while electric current is the flow of electrons, from one static body to another.
What are the forms of static electricity?
One such form is lightning
What force is related to or caused by electric charges that do not move?
An electrostatic charge, that is one not caused by a flow of current
