What does static electricity charge?

Static electricity is a imbalance of electric charges on the surface of an object. When objects are rubbed together, electrons can transfer from one object to another, creating a charge imbalance. This charge can then accumulate and cause static electricity to build up.


Can one produce static electricity?

Yes , brushing your hair or walking on a nylon carpet will cause you to generate a static charge.


Why can friction cause a build up of static charge?

Friction can cause a build-up of static charge because when two objects rub against each other, electrons can be transferred from one material to the other, creating an imbalance of positive and negative charges. This imbalance leads to the accumulation of static charge on the surfaces of the materials involved in the friction.


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.


What is the result of a broken static eliminator strip in a laser printer?

What will happen if your static-eliminator strip is broken, is it will stick to the photo-sensitive drum and be pulled back into the printer. If the paper comes out looking like an accordion then it will most likely be that the static-eliminator is not pulling the charge from the paper.
