Can static electricity hurt you?
Short answer is yes. Static electricity i capable of causing a spark. There are 3 things needed for fire. Fuel, Oxygen and a source of ignition. If the other 2 conditions are met, then static electricity could certainly provide the ignition source.
What are 3 types of static electricity?
Lightning is a Natural phenomenon which shows Static electricity. Xerox machine works on the principles of static electricity , Electrostatic precipitators control solid pollution from a smoke works on this electrostatic principles , Some spray coatings and powder coatings are also working on the same principles
What are some of the effects static electricity has on matter?
your hair is sticking up after rubbing a ballon on your head.rubbing your feet on a carpet then touching a doorknob and getting shocked as a result.
Static electricity for kids-what is it static electricity and how is it created?
How does static electricity work?What is static electricity?1. Static electricity is a form of electricity that does not flow: it is electricity at rest. Objects carry positive electric charges when some of their atoms have fewer electrons than they should, and they carry negative electric charges when some of the atoms have more electrons than they should. An easy way to produce static electricity is to rub two objects (made of certain materials) together: this transfers electrons from one item to another, giving each a positive or negative charge. Positively and negatively charged objects are attracted to each other like magnets-because each wants to shed or acquire electrons. When static electricity becomes powerful enough, so many electrons jump from one thing to another that they cause a visible electric spark, which you will feel as a little "shock" if one of the things the electrons jump to you! (Loose electrons can attach to atoms in the surface of your skin.) Lightning, in fact, is really just a giant spark that results when static electricity builds up in a cloud during a thunderstorm.How does my hair stick up?2. As you remove your hat, electrons are transferred from hat to hair, creating that interesting hairdo! Remember, objects with the same charge repel each other. Because they have the same charge, your hair will stand on end. Your hairs are simply trying to get as far away from each other as possible!How does a balloon stick to the wall?3. When you rub a balloon against your clothes and it sticks to the wall, you are adding an extra of electrons (negative charges) to the surface of the balloon. The wall is now more positively charged than the balloon. As the two come in contact, the balloon will stick because of the rule that opposites attract (positive to negative).What is the difference between static and current electricity?4. According to traditional terminology, current electricity runs freely while electrical charges from static electricity generally do not move too well on their own. Current electricity or "charge flow," forces charged particles to flow through each other. In static electricity, also called "net charge," protons and electrons repel or attract each other. They cannot flow through the other, as is the case with electrical current.
What are 3 types of electric energy?
Three types? I can think of more than that. But I suppose if we group some together: there is mechanical energy, solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy. Thermal energy in a power station is transformed into mechanical energy so is covered by that. But then both wind energy and hydro energy convert to mechanical before the electricity is produced. So really at a fundamental level there seems only mechanical and solar. Mechanical would include fossil fuels, (coal, oil, natural gas,), nuclear, wind, incinerators, hydro, geothermal, and biomass, which all drive a mechanical device to produce the electricity. Solar produces electricity directly from photovoltaic cells so that is not mechanical.

What are some questions on science electricity?
1. what is one food that can produce electricity? Potatoes 2. What is electricity? This question can not be answered it has many different definitions. 3. can you see static electricity? It is very hard to see any kind of electricity.
What are 3 things that friction can do between two objects?
Heat,wear,and static electricity(depending on what the objects are made of).
How a computer technician can utilize any safety tool to avoid static electricity on electronic components?
You can buy an anti-static wristband, or you could stand on a rubber mat. Also there are special screwdrivers that are anti-static. But I have built 3 computers and I have never used any anti-static precautions!
What are some common uses of air?
1. It is used to fill tyres 2.It is used to make fertilizers 3.For breathing 4.It runs windmills which produce electricity 5.It is essential for burning
A technician wants to limit the chances of ESD affecting the workspace. Which three precautions should be taken?
1. Remove static electricity generation sources (tape, paper, etc.) Wear clothing that minimizes the generation of static electricity. 2. Maintain a relative humidity level that is high enough to inhibit, or at least reduce, the generation of static electricity. 3. Properly bond/ground you, workspace and equipment keeping ESD and personnel safety in mind.
3 different uses for fossile fules?
Providing heat, generating electricity and as fuel for transport.
What are 3 disadvantages of a lava lamp?
There really are no disadvantages. I suppose the only disadvantage is that i uses electricity.
What is present whenever there is a buildup of charge?
1. static electricity. 2. electrons. 3. holes. 4. voltage/potential difference. 5. resistance.
