Why is it important to ground static electricity?
Because of the electric force and stuff and the magnitude and lattitude that pulls it across the system of rods
Zap friends by static electricity?
usually by wearing socks while scuffing ones feet on wool carpet will accumulate static charge, this static electricity can be used to 'zap' friends and co-workers. Alternatively, nervous system issues (particularly low acetylcholine levels, NOT recommended to be artificially altered) can allow one to accumulate a disproportionate level of charge before on discharges.
Which subatomic particle is responsible for the static charges in objects?
e<- ? This type of electricity is called "static" because the electrons are not flowing through a circuit, as they would in an alternating current or direct current system, like the ones that power the lights in your home and your Xbox 360. Instead, they've accumulated in one place. If they get the chance, these negatively charged particles will transfer someplace else, in attempt to achieve a neutral balance. With lightning and the shock you receive from touching someone's sweater, this process happens very suddenly.
Is the water in a freshwater lens system moving or static?
Moving
Why is static electricity a risk if you are pregnant?
electricity is dangerous to everyone, but if you are pregnant, you pass the risk on to the unborn child. A small shock to you may be an electrocution for them, being so small. ------------------------- This is far too general an answer that it needs to be amplified. Static electricity is created when different materials rub against one another and electrons are moved between them. It's called a static charge because the excess of electrons on one of the materials just sits there waiting for an opportunity to move to another material to achieve a neutral balance. The most common is from your fingertip to the doorknob. As you walk across the carpet, your shoes pick up electrons as the soles slide across the surface of the carpet. In fact, the electrons spread all over your body and clothing. When you reach for the doorknob, the electrons find a very hospitable path back to the carpet. Zap! We've all been there. Lightning is also static electricity. The turbulence of the air in the clouds causes electrons to get knocked loose and leaves areas of excess electrons and areas of too few electrons, and when the difference becomes big enough, a lightning bolt will allow the excess electrons to flow. Nature likes equilibrium. Now, to the original question. The static electricity that gives you a shock at the doorknob travels almost entirely on the surface of the skin, and is not a significant (if even measurable) concern to a developing fetus. [I am a scientist, not a doctor]. Lightning, on the other hand, carries so much current, that while most of it flows on the skin, a significant portion finds its way though the body. This would put not only the baby at risk, but also Mom. Electricity, the lower-voltage kind that is generated by a power plant or batteries is far more dangerous than static electricity for a number of reasons. Primarily, there is a lot more of it. Once a static charge is discharged, it's gone. Nature has found its equilibrium. Generated electricity, however, just keeps coming. You can put your fingers on a car battery's terminals and you won't feel a thing. Break the skin and the current finds an easy path to follow through the circulatory system. It's wet and slightly salty - electricity likes that. Again, back to the original answer - because Mom and the baby do not share the same circulatory system, the baby is somewhat insulated from electricity flowing through Mom. Remember, I am a scientist, not a doctor. Generally speaking, nature protects the fetus pretty well, so I would not worry about common static discharges that we encounter on any dry day.
Why doesn't static electricity last long?
The system tends to attain the state of minimum potential energy, so the effect of static electricity wears out very fast.
How can strata surfwear protect their system against power surges?
it cant protect the system against power surges
Is a watch a static system?
If a system is static then it will be known as STATIC SYSTEM
What device protect a system against blackouts?
The UPS

Differentiate between static and dynamic systems in linear system analysis?
If a system is static then it will be known as STATIC SYSTEM and if it is not static then its a common sense that it will be a DYNAMIC SYSTEM.
Your car door shocks you when you touch it?
It's called static electricity. The 12 volt system in cars and trucks are not enough to shock someone. Even 24 volt systems found in buses and heavy trucks are not enough to feel. So it has to be static electricity somehow.
What devices protects a system against lighting strikes but does not protect against sags and brownouts?
Surge Protector
Why did luigo galvani do the frogs legs experiment?
Luigi Galvani didn't intentionally do the frog leg experiment. He was working with static electricity by using frog skin. When he took the metal scapel that he was using during the static electricity experiment, it became charged with static electricity. When he identically touched one of the the frogs' nerve, the frog leg twitched. This helped us later understand that our nervous system practically works on electrical impulses/signals.

What are electrolyte plates in a grounding system?
Electrolyte plates in a grounding system are electrically grounded metal plates on which a person stands to discharge static electricity picked up by his body. This is called grounding.
What device protects a system against lightening strikes but does not protect against sags and brownouts?
A surge protector protects a system against lightening strikes but not against sags or blackouts. Line conditioners also called power conditioners protect your computer against sags and brownouts. The UPS protects your computer against blackouts ~TiffyQT
