A selenium coated drum is electrostaticly charged from a high voltage corona discharge. The charged drum is then exposed to light of an image of the original to be copied. The lighted areas become discharged, leaving only the dark areas still charged. The drum now passes over a tray of dark plastic toner beads, which are attracted to the charged areas of the drum and stick. The drum, with toner stuck to it in the pattern of the dark areas of the original now passes the blank sheet of paper to become the copy and a high voltage pulls the toner from the drum to the paper. Finally the paper with the toner on it is passed through a heated "fixer" that melts the toner into the paper. Now you have a copy.

What type of electricity does the photocopier use?
Most standard photocopiers use regular 110 volt (or in Europe, 220v) wall outlet power. Large industrial copiers might use more, but your plain old office or desktop copier just plugs right in to the wall. Inside the copier, they use different, lower voltages for various functions, and they use static electricity for making the image on the copy.
What are some ways you use static electricity?
Photo Copy machines use static electricity to get the ink in the places where it needs to be copied. There's an artist that uses static electricity to fly the different paint onto the paper. They also use static electricity to paint cars. (True enough, I got the artist thing from Bill Nye The Science Guy)
What can you use to stop static electricity from building up?
To prevent static electricity buildup, you can use anti-static products such as sprays, mats, or clothing. These products help to neutralize the electric charge and reduce the likelihood of static electricity discharge.
How do you effectively eliminate static electricity?
To effectively eliminate static electricity, you can use anti-static products, such as sprays or mats, wear clothing made of natural fibers, use a humidifier to increase moisture in the air, and avoid materials that generate static electricity.
What is a dangerous use of static electricity?
A dangerous use of static electricity is the risk of sparking in environments with flammable gases or vapors. The spark created by static electricity can ignite these substances, leading to fires or explosions. It is important to manage static electricity in such environments to prevent accidents.
What is the difference between spark and static?
Static is the name of an electricity, a spark is like the outcome of friction. Like, you can use static electricity to make a spark.
How do inkjet printers use static electricity?
no.
Why do you use the word static to describe static electricity?
Static means it doesn't move. This is essentially what static electricity is, a charge tht has no current. It is made by the transfer of electrons, as a pose to a cell or battery.
Can you use static electricity to light a light bulb?
No, static electricity is not typically strong enough to light a light bulb. To light a light bulb, you generally need a continuous flow of electricity, which is not provided by static electricity. Static electricity is more commonly used in applications like static shocks or attracting small objects.
How do you use statics?
everything electronic is static electricity
What is the solution for controlling static electricity?
One solution for controlling static electricity is to use anti-static products or materials, such as anti-static sprays or mats. These products help to neutralize or dissipate the build-up of static charges, reducing the likelihood of static electricity discharge. Additionally, maintaining proper humidity levels in the environment can also help to control static electricity.
What are some things that use static electricity to function?
Some common things that use static electricity to function include photocopiers, printers, air purifiers, and paint sprayers. Static electricity is used in these devices to attract particles, create a static charge for imaging, or facilitate the transfer of paint particles.
