Which describes static electricity?
Electrostatic discharge
How does lighting discharge?
When there is a sufficiently strong electrostatic charge, it can cause air molecules to ionize, which are then electrically conductive and create a pathway for the discharge of the electrostatic charge.
What do you call a scary electrostatic discharge?
Frightening lightning
Can static be dangeras?
No, but it can be dangerous since an electrostatic discharge can lead to explosions.
What is the is voltage of an Electrostatic discharge that you can feel?
1500v From ESD Association ESD Handbook ESD TR20.20 section 5.3.2.1: "When people are charged with static electricity, they can release stored energy to conductive objects such as doorknobs and electronic circuits. This transfer of energy is called an electrostatic discharge. Sometimes the electrostatic discharge causes visible sparks, but more often, it is both unseen and unfelt. Electrostatic discharges can damage ESD sensitive components used in modern electronics. Static electricity is a natural phenomenon that occurs in all climates and at all levels of relative humidity year round. Most people cannot feel an electrostatic discharge unless the static voltage is greater than 2000 volts. However, some electronic circuitry can be damaged by ESD that is less than 2000 volts. The damage can be done without people having any sensation of the ESD event. When a wrist strap is worn properly and connected to ground, the person wearing it will stay near ground potential."
Which protects a computer from electrostactic discharge?
Many things protect a computer from electrostatic discharge such as linear voltage regulators and fuses.
What are the different types of electrostatic discharge?
There are many different types of electrostatic discharge. Some examples include electric sparks such as from lightning, corona discharge, and brush discharge.
Which describes static electricity?
Electrostatic discharge
What protects a computer from electrostatic discharge?
A transistor
How does lighting discharge?
When there is a sufficiently strong electrostatic charge, it can cause air molecules to ionize, which are then electrically conductive and create a pathway for the discharge of the electrostatic charge.
Is the static discharge a flow of electrons?
Static discharge is the spark associated with static electricity that is caused by electrostatic discharge.
Electrostatic discharge is commonly known as what?
static electricity
What can be used to prevent electrostatic discharge?
grounding strap
What is a scary electrostatic discharge?
That might refer to a lightning.
What do you call a scary electrostatic discharge?
Frightening lightning
What do you call a very electrostatic Discharge?
Frightening Lightning
How does humidity affect ESD?
Esd is known as electrostatic discharge. Humidity plays a role in electrostatic discharge because it makes it harder for an object to hold an electric charge.
