Static in static electricity describes what property of the charge?
The "static" in static electricity describes that the charge is unmoving, or staying in one place. A movement of electrons is not occuring, however there is an electrical charge. The opposite would be current electricity that flows, and that you would find in electric cords, etc...
What charge develops on rubbing plastic straw with polythene?
Static electrical charge.
What force is related to or caused by electric charges that do not move?
An electrostatic charge, that is one not caused by a flow of current
Is electrostatic charge and static electricity the same thing?
Yes. They stand for the same
What does static electricity and current electricity have in common?
They both cause by electrical charge
What property does earth have that enables grounding to drain static charged?
Earth is like a very large CONDUCTOR. That is how grounding occurs.
What is an antistatic property?
the fast dissipation of static electricity (static charge).
What are the remedies of static charge development during coating process?
The most common remedies for static charge development during the coating process including discharging it and grounding the material. This will control the charge and allow the process to be completed successfully.
How is static pressure removed?
By grounding.

How do you build up static charge?
on yourself: on a dry (not humid) day (usually in winter), rub your feet wearing synthetic soled shoes, on the carpet, your body will build up static charge which you can discharge by grounding to other objects. you can build a static charge on a plastic rod by rubbing it with fur. air masses build static charges by rubbing against each other. these are just a few ways.
What property does a plastic have that makes it possible to give it static charge?
It's a non-conductor (of electricity).
Is lighting a static charge or is it produce by static charge?
Lighting is caused by static charge, not that lighting is a static charge . It happen when unlike charge come in attraction.
Why is a petrol tanker sometimes connected to the ground by means of a wire before petrol in unloaded?
Because even if there's a slight static charge in the tanker, it could ignite the petrol and explode. If it's connected to the ground by a wire, then all the static charge in the truck is removed (ie grounding the truck).
An invention to reduce the effects of static electricity?
A grounding wire or strap.
What are grounding mats used for?
Grounding mats are used when working on electronic components to drain off static electricity. Static electricity develops high voltages (the spark that jumps from your hand to a doorknob in winter is static electricity) and these voltages can damage sensitive electronics.
What are some dangerous situations involving static electricity?
Grounding is the only way to handle static electricity. Ground all metallic parts to one another and then take the ground wire to installed grounding electrodes.
