What is the term used to describe the build up of electrical charges on an object due to friction?
The term used to describe the build up of electric charge on a non-conductive material due to friction is static electricity.
What is the instrument that is used to detect static charge?
An electroscope is an instrument used to detect static electricity.
Which tool is used for hardware to stand to prevent static electricity from building up?
Anti static mat
Why cant nothing be charged by static electricity?
Not sure what you are asking. You have used two fine negative words in the question, so interpretation is difficult."Why can't anything be charged by static electricity?"Static means stationary. Once the static electricity is given the chance to flow, it is dissipated. If I charge myself with static electricity by rubbing my shoes on a synthetic carpet, then I have "trapped" the electricity - it is static or still. When I touch my friend on the ear or hand, the electricity flows to her with a zap and is lost to the ground.Electricity that is generated or from a battery flows continuously in a circuit it is not dissipated.
Does black hair have more static electricity than other colors?
Well i did an experiment, I used blond, gray, dyed and brown hair. The brown hair had more static electricity. I guessthe darker it is the more static it has.*Im not sure this is a guess!
Why can static electricity not to be used to run a television?
static electricity is static electricity
What is the term used to describe the build up of electrical charges on an object due to friction?
The term used to describe the build up of electric charge on a non-conductive material due to friction is static electricity.
Why is static electricity not widly used by people?
Will it is stationary
What are grounding mats used for?
Grounding mats are used when working on electronic components to drain off static electricity. Static electricity develops high voltages (the spark that jumps from your hand to a doorknob in winter is static electricity) and these voltages can damage sensitive electronics.
What is the instrument that is used to detect static charge?
An electroscope is an instrument used to detect static electricity.
What are the devices that are static electricity?
If you mean the name of the machine used to create static electricity - it's called a 'van de graaff' generator.
Why isn't static electricity used to power to appliance?
electricity is something that causes shocks
How are static and current electricity obtained?
Typically, movement is used to obtain electricity of the static or current varieties. Rubbing two dissimilar objects together has been used to create a difference in the distribution of charge (static electricity). Current electricity is typically made by a dynamo or generator: a wire is moved through a magnetic field.
What natural resources is used to make electricity?
coal and static electricity like sparks
Which tool is used for hardware to stand to prevent static electricity from building up?
Anti static mat
What is static electricity and why is this name used?
Static electricity is when a group of atoms form together. When friction happens atoms create a negative charge and a shock is formed.
Why can't static charge be used to operate an electrical device?
Static charge does not provide a steady flow of electricity.
