What state does an object return to when it discharges static electricity?
Probably neutral.
What is static electricity measured in?
I believe it is measured in watts. Static electricity is measured in volts. Most static electricity discharges are measured in Kilovolts. Lightning is measures in Megavolts.
Why do people feel shock when they touch some objects?
It's a build-up of static electricity. You act as a pathway to ground for the static - so you feel a slight shock as the static discharges.
Why is a crackling sound heard when removing a jumper?
Because of static electricity that discharges when you pull it off.
When does static electricity occur?
FRICTION!!!!!!!

What is lighting an example of?
electrical discharges occur
You got a shock from your cell phone and another day from a shopping cart Much more than static make any sense?
Actually, no it doesn't. Static electricity is affected by local climate conditions, the biggest factor being humidity. Static discharges happen much more frequently during the winter because humidity is much lower than it is during other parts of the year. The drier the air is around you, the more likely static buildup will occur. It also depends on the type of clothing you're wearing, as some fabrics allow static buildup to occur much more than others. Fuzzy items are a big static attraction.

What is the difference between static electricity and electric discharge?
A static discharge is an accumulation of static electricity that discharges when negative electrons connect with the positive protons.
What is static charge and how does it occur?
just like that
Can electric tornadoes happen?
No. While tornadoes are usually accompanied by lightning and can sometimes produce static discharges, electricity has nothing to do with the way they work.
What discharges static electricity?
A static charge is just an excess (or lack) of electrons from the surface atoms of a substance, always a non-conductor. The discharge occurs when the "free" electrons find a low resistance path to ground.
