Here are some examples of how static electricity is useful:
Paint-spraying cars: The paint particles are given a negative charge, and the car frame is given a positive charge, so the paint sprays out, sticks to the car, and is attracted to all the hard-to-reach areas.
Electrostatic precipitator: In a coal-fired power station, this is used to stop the dust particles reaching the atmosphere. Particles pass through a charged grid and become charged. They then stick to either side of this grid, where they can be disposed of safely.
Photocopier: A charged drum is in the photocopier. Light is then shone through the paper, and where there is no print, light hits the drum and it loses its charge. This leaves charge where there needs to be ink. Ink is then pulled onto the charged drum and transferred onto paper.
Antistatic floors: To avoid static charges in hospital, the floors are made out of an antistatic material so that no charge can build up.

In what way is static electricity useful?
Static electricity is useful in several ways. It causes attraction between particles, which makes it useful in air pollution control and photocopier technology.
What are some useful electrostatic charges?
Some useful electrostatic charges are; static electricity, and full electricity
How can we put static electricity to good use?
static eletricty is useful in several ways.It causes attractin between particles,which makes it useful in air pollution control.
What are an anti-static wristband?
Anti-static wrist bands or anklets help ground a person and divert static electricity. This is useful when a person works in demolition. A spark can ignite plastic explosives, and the anti-static wrist bands greatly reduce the likelihood that static electricity would detonate the materials prematurely.
Is static electricity not really static?
Static electricity is static. It's just shortened.
What is useful about static electricity?
You can move things with static electricity!
In what way is static electricity useful?

What are some useful electrostatic charges?
Some useful electrostatic charges are; static electricity, and full electricity
Which is more useful static or current electricity?
It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.
When is static electricity useful?
See the Related Link.
What type of electricity is not useful?
The LEAST useful form of energy is Static Electricity however it to still find some uses.
Why is current electricity more useful than static electricity?
because static electricity cannot be controlled or manipulated like current electricity (think of the saying "lightning doesnt strike on the same place twice")
How can we put static electricity to good use?

In what ways is static electricity useful explain a practical use?
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.
Why can static electricity not to be used to run a television?
static electricity is static electricity
Is static electricity not really static?
Static electricity is static. It's just shortened.
