Static electricity is inexhaustible. It's just the result of separating charges,

and all matter is composed of charges. But you have to put energy into

normal matter in order to separate the charges, and that's the energy

that you get back when the static electricity discharges.

Resistance is just the opposition to the flow of electrical current . . . the

outward manifestation of the energy it takes to make electric charges flow

from one place to another. It's not a source of anything, any more than,

say, laziness or obstinacy are.

What state does the source return to after the electrical discharge in a static electricity?

After an electrical discharge in static electricity, the source typically returns to a neutral state, meaning it has neither a positive nor negative charge. The excess charge that caused the static electricity is usually dissipated into the air or transferred to another object during the discharge.

Why is static electricity not ueful as a power source?

Static electricity does not provide a reliable or consistent source of power because it is typically generated in small amounts and is difficult to control and store effectively. It is also easily dissipated through contact with other objects, which means it is not practical for use as a continuous power source.
