The ability of opposite charges in static electricity is what's used when designing applications for it.
This effect is also used in industrial smokestacks to reduce the pollution that they generate, altough they work in a very large scale, the effect is basically the same as the home air purifier.
This process ensures a uniform layer of paint, since when there is enough negative paint in the car the extra will be repelled by the paint already in the car.
It also ensures that the paint won't fall off, since the electrical attraction between the paint and the car is stronger than if it was just sprayed.
All of these processes use electronic circuits to generate and control the static charges generated. If you are interested in electricity and electronics, check out my electronic circuits for beginners site, where you will find simple circuits to get you started, When you have learned enough you can build your own practical static electricity circuits for your own use!
Static discharge is the spark associated with static electricity that is caused by electrostatic discharge.
yes
No
No. The movement of electrons is what causes electricity, and neutrons take no part in it.
Static
Is a photocopier.
photocopier
yes they are.
Piezoelectric discharge (some butane lighters)
static electricity is static electricity
The LEAST useful form of energy is Static Electricity however it to still find some uses.
static electricity
A photocopier uses static electricity to attract toner particles onto the paper. The drum in the photocopier is charged with static electricity, which attracts the toner particles. When the toner particles are transferred onto the paper, the static charge helps to keep them in place until they are heat-fused onto the paper.
static electricity
No, static electricity does not have a smell.
Static electricity constitutes of charges that are static i.e. they do not move.
You can move things with static electricity!
