The discharge of excess static electricity on a computer could ruin your RAM if you are touching the RAM sticks bare-handed. RAM uses tiny cells filled with a small electrical charge to register either a 0 or 1, which is used as the basis of computer memory. When static electricity comes into contact with the RAM, it could disrupt the electrical charge inside the RAM cells and permanently ruin it.

Where does static electrictricity come from?
Static electricity comes from electrons moving from one object to another. When you get shocked touching a door knob, the electrons are moving from your hand to the door knob.

Anti-static vacuum is use for what?
These vacumns are used to clean the insides of computers and printers. Since dust passing thru nozzles at high speed will generate static charges the vacumn must be specially built to be "antistatic" a regular vacumn cleaner could damage your computer with a static discharge. Bill Butterman
What are some dangers of static electricity?
If you are an electronics hobbyist you will be handling CMOS ICs they will be damaged if you touch their legs with your hands. This is due to static electricity. The same can happen if you don't discharge yourself before touching the motherboard of your computers. But most of today's computers are protected from this.
Anti static wrist straps anti static bags?
Anti-static wrist straps are worn on a person's wrist to safely ground them while working on electronics to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge. Anti-static bags are used to store electronic components and devices to prevent static electricity buildup and protect them from damage. Both are important tools in preventing damage to sensitive electronics from static electricity.
How can I prevent static electricity from building up and causing damage by stopping static electricity?
To prevent static electricity buildup and potential damage, you can use anti-static products, humidify the air, avoid synthetic materials, and ground yourself by touching metal surfaces.
Do buckyballs damage computers?
yes.
How can static prevention be effectively implemented in order to minimize the risk of damage to electronic devices?
Static prevention can be effectively implemented to minimize the risk of damage to electronic devices by using anti-static wrist straps, mats, and bags, ensuring proper grounding of equipment, and avoiding static-prone environments. Regularly cleaning and maintaining equipment can also help prevent static buildup.
Why should a technician that is working with a computers hardware wear an anti-static wrist strap?
the wrist strap will prevent computer components from being damaged by static electricity.
When working with a computer you wear the ground straps to protect the components from what?
static, static can damage the things inside just like a magnet.
What is the advantage of using an anti static mat?
By using an anti static mat while working on the inside of your computer, you are protecting the delicate electronic components from static electricity that can damage the electronics.
A static shock is caused by?
You get static shock when the air is dry, mostly during the winter. Electrical currents run through your fingers, and when you touch something, all the current rush to the thing you touched, causing a shock. Static current developed in any device can cause a static shock. Static current if discharged by direct human touch can cause damage to electronic devices.
