What is the largest discharge of static eletricity you have ever seen?
the largest discharge is neurons and nucleus
What is it called when lightning strikes the ground?
Static discharge is causes the spark that is seen when electricity in a thunderhead discharges. The most common name for this type of spark or discharge is lightening.
I was touching a fence when lightning hit and went through it and threw you back my hand is still tingling?
That was the static electricity acumulated in it. You only had your hand thrown back but riguers in the military have rods to touch underneath a cargo helicopter to release the static electricity acumulated in it. That amount is enought to kill person. I have seen happen.
The static electricity in your hair and clothes sparked when you touched your set top box now doesn't work?
That doesn't sound good at all. Most likely it fried a chip in the box, ic chips run on about 6volts and .05 milliamps usually and a static discharge is in the hundreds of volts(very little amps)! It is easy to burn up chips this way. You could try to unplug it and wait a few minutes then plug it back in to see if you got lucky and only changed the state of the chip rather than blowing it up. But I have seen ic chips on a circuit board with a big chunk missing from where it was struck with a static discharge. What set top box is it? TV? Cablebox? DVDplayer? If it still doesn't work after unplugging and reconnecting then i would have it looked at by a technician it may be repairable for not much more than the laber/service cost. You could always have them look at it without fixing the problem and tell you how much it would cost to repair, then decide if it is cheaper to replace or fix. To prevent future happenings of this i suggest you touch something metal (nothing electronic) anything that you feel the zap from and then touch your devices after you have discharged safely. Good luck
Why pins of plug are cutted?
Some pin plugs are mostly seen with three pins. The two pin plugs being flat, equal, and has a hole because this is where electricity flows. The round pin plug is used to absorb more flow of electricity for example computers and laptops have round pin plugs because it needs a lot of electricity, the round pin plug is only cut when using a device that doesn't need to much electricity to work.

Is static electricity experiments the same as electricity experiment?
They are both dealing with electricity, so yes. 'static' electricity is mearely a categorization of electric phenomena. The best I've seen it dealt with is here: http://amasci.com/emotor/stmiscon.html#one

What is the purpose of an anti static wrist strap?
Believe it or not, static electricity can be very high and this can destroy sensitive IC chips easily. I've seen new ones handled improperly and installed only to find them bad.
Is static electricity a source of energy?
Yes, it can. The "normal" static electricity we usually encounter isn't lethal. If we shuffle across a rug on a dry day, we can get a nasty zap! when we reach for the door knob. But note that lightning is static electricity, and it can kill or disable individuals with ridiculous ease.

Can electricity seen?
Although electricity is everything, it cannot be seen!
What was the day of invention of electricity?
Electricity was never "invented" like, say, a toothbrush. Electricity was know to ancients, and its effects were seen by people who had no written language. This was lightning. Much later, static electricity was seen acting on things, and later still, crude voltage cells were constructed using chemicals. The true nature of electricity was considered and investigated by a number of experimenters over a long time before it was understood well enough to explain it.
Can you convert electricity to static electricity?
Electricity is the flow of electron charge through a conductor and cannot be static unless you wish to measure the potential difference with a voltmeter,however static charge can be detected by gold leaf electroscope.
What is the definition of a corona discharge?
A corona discharge is the ionization of the surrounding atmosphere after an electrical discharge. This can usually be seen as a glowing of a different color near high voltage conductor points.
What gives you shock but cannot be seen?
Electricity
What gives you a shock but can never be seen?
That is electricity.
