Is polyester a conductor of static electricity?
Not a good one. The phrase "conductor of static electricity" is basically nonsense. If something conducts electricity, then it conducts electricity.
What happens when static electricity is discharged?
light and sound is produce.
Why doesn't wood and metal attract to static electricity?
Static electricity is a build up of electrons. Static means still or stationary. Electrons on metal can not be stationary as the metal is such a good conductor of electricity. To remove static electricity after dragging your feet on a nylon carpet just touch a metal appliance or pipe eg a tap. Wood is generally porous so electrons again do not build up but ebony will build a static charge as it is a very dense wood. Electrons build up on plastic as it is a poor conductor. The electrons are static and a charge builds. Static electricity is caused by electrons being knocked off or building up on objects that are not normally good conductors.
Can metals produce static electricity?
no metals can not create electro magnetic energy
How does an electroscope detect static electricity?
Electrostratic induction brings opposite electrical charges to the surface of a material and can be combined with a material to produce static electricity. Hope that helps!

Can you give a sentence for static?
i can produce static electricity
Is it possible to produce electricity with tissue papers?
Yes, you could produce static electricity.
If rubber is a good insulator why do balloons attract static electricity?
Insulators can easily have static electricity. In case of conductors we have to follow some delicate procedure to store charges on it. Usually that is known to be electrostatic induction. But in case of insulators just rubbing would do to produce static electricity. Example: when a glass rod is rubbed against a silk cloth, then glass lose electrons to the silk and so glass becomes positively charged and silk negatively charged. So balloons being a bad conductor is good example to have static electricity. If it is good conductor then charges would flow through them easily and so not possible to produce static electricity just by rubbing.
What do fuel cells batteries and solar cells have in common?
They all produce static electricity.
Can lightning produce 100 million volts of static electricity?
Can v produce electricity with help of lightning.......
Is a rug a insulator?
No it is a very good conductor actually. It can cause static electricity.
Can static electricity produce current electricity?
Certainly. Electricity is the flow of electrons, either continuously or from a quick discharge. Static machines usually produce continuous sparks. ( Wikipedia.org/whimshurst or Wikipedia.org/vandegraaf .)
How can static electricity be produced?
walk across a carpet and drag your feet in your socks and touch metal and you will produce static electricity and get a shock.

How do electrons behave in a conductor when no voltage is applied?
when no electricity flow then chare are in condition of static
Why does static electricity and wood stick together?
Objects like a dry wood stick does not conduct electricity but they may accumulate electrostatic charges on their surface
