Static electricity can happen when a pert of the body gets in contact with another body containing charged electrons. It can take place in the human air during combing, foot sole and the shoe, or by action of rubbing against surfaces such as furniture or metallic items.

∙ 14y agoIt doesn't really "run" on either, although nerve impulses are partly electrical. AC is poor fit, but the others are poorer.
electrical impulses move along the length of the nerves... therefore, DC me thinks.
Well, no. If you've ever seen an EEG or an ECG, even if it's only on a rerun of ER on the TV, you're bound to have noticed that they consist of jagged, wiggly lines. That's AC. If it'd been DC all you would have gotten is flat lines, with varying amounts of offset from zero.

What are 3 fluids that run threw the human body?
blood,water and bodily fluids.
What is the largest cell produced by the body?
The largest cell in the human body is the Anterior horn cell. It is the largest cell, it can be found in the spine. It is 135µm (135 micrometers).By largest we are not looking at the mass of the cell but the size of the cell.
Where do nerve cells come from?
Your nerves which run all through your body
Muscles with fibers that run parallel to the long axis of the body?
Rectus
What is the role of ATP in the human body?
An adenosine-derived nucleotide that contains high-energy phosphate bonds and is used to transport energy to cells for biochemical processes, including muscle contraction and enzymatic metabolism, through its hydrolysis to ADP. ATP is hydrolyzed to AMP when it is incorporated into DNA or RNA.
Why can static electricity not to be used to run a television?
static electricity is static electricity
Why is are refrigerators ran by static static electricity?
They are not. They're run by current electricity, that comes from the power company and through the meter outside your house.
Can you produce static electricity?
"Static electricity" is more accurately referred to as "static charge". Yes, of course you can. you just rub 2 good insulators together (plastic is recommended) and use it to pick up small bits of paper. static is electricity that doesn't move in a current. Or, run a plastic comb through your hair. It will take on a static charge.
Is appliances current or static?
I think what you're asking are "do appliances run on current (AC, DC) or static electricity. The answer is: current, of course! That's what's generated by your household plug. Static electricity is really just a difference in charges being discharged by contact, be it direct (your hand to your car) or indirect (as in, through the air).
You run a comb through your hair on a dry autumn day and hear a crackling sound Which terms applies to this phenomenon?
Static electricity
Can static electricity be harnessed for useful purpose?
It seems if simple static electricity experimentscan sufficiently harness 'static electricity' to reveal visible effects, i.e. a charged comb makes hair stand up,then the same effect should be applicable on a much larger scale.Why? Because the hair is attracted to the 'charged comb,'it indicates a 'magnetic effect.'Once the 'magnetic effect' is applied to a visible result, i.e. hair standing up, it means static electricity has been converted to magnetic power.It seem to me, it should be possible to create this 'magnetic power' on a far larger scale by accessing the enormous static electricity that pervades the air around us.So, if someone out there has ever produced magnetism by accessing 'static electricity' on a scale that would light up a light bulb, recharge a cell phone, or run a refrigerator, or even run a car, I'd really like to see it or hear about it?
Does static electricity light up in the dark?
Yes, it actually does so very often. It is called lightening. Lightning is a static discharge. Additionally, if you have ever run an electric generator without correctly grounding it, you may see a static discharge between it and a grounded object. If this occurs at night, it will be very bright.
Why is static electricity a uncontroled form of electricity?
It cant run electrical things with it, you kind of dont expect it to happen it just happens. Thier is nothing you can really do. Once friction builds up it can create a positive charge or a negative charge , so when the friction is built up it can shock you at any time. There isnt really a time you can say,it just happens at any time when the friction builds up and its ready to discharge.
Do hybrids run on electricity?
Hybrids run either on electricity or on fuel.
Does electricity help your body to work?
Yes, electricity does help your body to work! Your brain sends and receives electric messages to and from all the parts of your body. That is what makes you move, talk, run... you name it! But the voltages are not very high! High voltages can kill you!

Does microphoneuses electricity?
