An electrostatic meter reads static electricity without contact - and is safer to use if very high voltage of static build-up is likely to be present. Under more normal examples of static build-up (in your body, or conductive surface, nylon carpet, etc.) a spark will jump between your finger and the conductive material. As a static spark could cause a fire (in a corn mill, and in sensitive production processes, etc.) all the equipment will be earthed.

How many different types of static electricity is there?
There is one that I know of. It is Plasma static electricity
What is miletus electricity?
It is now what we know as static electricity.
How are electric current and static electricity diffrent?
Where electric current is present, electrons are flowing from one place to another. Where static electricity is present, electrons are just sitting there in a pile.
When was static electricity first discovered?
i have no idea? i know that thales was the first to discover static electricity.
How does lightning realate to electricity?
Well i don't know about electricity but i know about static electricity. Lightning is like static electricity, except on a much bigger scale. Both lightning and static electricity happen because of the attraction between the opposite charges. When static electricity moves, it is a current. When static electricity in clouds discharges to earth there is a huge, very short current pulse (surge).
Does the movement of proton causes static electricity?
No. Static energy is present, whether charges (such as protons, or electrons) move, or not.
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.
What is the relationship between atoms and static electricity?
static electricity can be called high voltage static electricity can be called high voltage static electricity can bend water
