An example is rubbing your head with a balloon. If you rubbed hard enough, your hair should stand up. Also, when you are VERY close to lightning, your hair stands up!!
when you comb your hair , some of the electrons stick to the comb and charge it by static electricity. a thunder lighting is also an example of static electricity.
The static electricity in a balloon cannot harm you, though it can give you an annoying jolt. Current kills.
No, static electricity does not light your home. Electric power plants send electricity to your house via the power grid, all of which works on an alternating current or AC. At the generating plant, this alternating current is stepped up to high voltages to distribute it, and it is then stepped down on the delivery end. The electricity is distributed to everyone on the power grid, and your house applies the AC to power up the lights and the electrical appliances.Static electricity, which is generated in tiny amounts around us all the time, is not a "stable" or "reliable" source of power. We haven't yet been successful in harnessing lightning, the most powerful of earth's static electric sources, to apply it to useful purposes on anything buy an experimental scale. We don't use static electricity for residential purposes.
Science allows people to know more about the environment. For example, without science, there will not be electricity for us to use.
You are not technically making electricity from lighting. You can harness the electricity from it somehow and then redistribute it somehow. The only problem is that lightening is very unpredictable and it is hard to tell where it is going to hit next.
Answer if you want to call it that,lolwell, I'm not going to pretend to be a hero, but the only thing that came to mind was an example. if you had on a silk dress (if you wore one) ther's a certain amount of static there, but if you were to wet the dress then the space between the dress and the static from your body would disappear. so if it's ranning the space where the electricity would live is no longer able to thrive. i guess, or something like that.
One example of static electricity is when you drag your feet across the floor and then shock someone. The shock is the static electricity.
i can produce static electricity
Static Electricity is very useful in many things we use in our everyday life. For instance, Photocopiers use static electricity to give the image or text a charge. The toner and the image have opposite charges because opposite charges attract. Static Electricity is also used in the ink. It makes the ink attracted to the places in which the information we need to be printed on the paper not where its supposed to stay white.
Static electricity andCurrent electricity are the basic forms of electricity.Others are:Thermo electricity,Piezo electricity,Photo electricity,...
bulb
I assume that 'charge' refers to the build up of static electricity. Walk across a nylon carpet and touch someone, and a spark of static electricity will give both of you a shock.
An electroscope is an instrument for detecting the presence of static electricity.
It's a non-conductor (of electricity).
I'll give you three kinds: Direct current, alternating current, and static.
battery
Static electricity is certainly part of it, but it also is due to the difficulty of getting air in between the layers.
The FRUIT BATTERY, where you can get electricity from fruits.
