The loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another?
Electric discharge
What is the loss of static electricity called?
Static Discharge
How does an object get electric charge?
An object gains an electric charge through the net accumulation of negative or positive charges (the latter created by net loss of electrons). This can occur in several ways, including: 1) within an electric field 2) within a magnetic field 3) when acted upon by atmospheric ionization (thunderstorms) 4) when charged by static electricity (mechanical energy, typically by rubbing certain materials).
What is heat absorption and loss?
heat gain is when an object get hotter. heat loss is when an object gets colder.
What are the examples of limiting friction?
If limiting friction is the same as static friction, then I have an answer, because static friction means that the objects in contact do not move. For example, if you place a box on the table, it does not move, as there is static friction between the box and the table.
What is the loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another?
Static electricity
The loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another?
Electric discharge

Static Discharge
The loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another called?
Electric discharge, is the word that makes this statement.
Is static electricity fun or dangerous?
"Static Electricity" can be extremely dangerous, if static charges are released in an inflammable atmosphere eg in an enclosed space, fuel tanks ashore or on board cargo vessels (tankers). Static charge may result in massive explosion with loss of life, property and environment.

Is lightning a electrical discharge?
If we are talking about discharge through a gas such as the atmosphere, this is a breakdown in the normally insulating gas due to ionisation of the gas molecules and hence conduction of current, the discharge will cause visible light to be emitted. This is lightning in nature.
How can an object be charged?
a negatively charged repels a positivley charged object
How a plastic ruler can become negativiely charged?
Technically, it doesn't. Static electricity is not something some things have or don't have. It is built up by two objects coming in contact with eachother. Some objects are more negative or positive than others, and the more positive items tend to lose their electrons more easily than the negatives, who tend to gain electrons. The gain/loss of electons happens on contact. Rubbing creates more contact, and therefore more gain/loss. The shock comes when a positively charged object touches a grounded item, such as a metal post or a person. Electrons jump to the object through the grounded item from the ground. If said object is a human, (s)he will feel a jolt of electricity, which we call static. Note: I call positive objects positive because they become positive on contact. I use the same reasoning with negative objects.
Can you reduce pressure loss and friction loss on pipelines with electricity?
no you can not
What happens if electricity travels long distances?
Increased wire or cable length causes the voltage to drop, this loss of charge is converted to heat and can cause electrical fires and damage to electronics.
