What is ligthing?

Lighting is the deliberate use of artificial light sources to illuminate a space for practical or aesthetic purposes. It can enhance the ambiance, mood, and functionality of a room by providing illumination for activities, highlighting architectural features, and creating visual interest. Good lighting design takes into account factors such as brightness, color temperature, and distribution to create the desired effect.


When a large build up of electrons jumps you get this?

Sparks! And when the distance is large enough, lightning!


What is happening when you walk across a carpet and receive a shock when you touch a metal object?

Walking across a nylon carpet can cause charge separation between you and the carpet. You take on an electrostatic charge as a result. Touching a door knob allows that charge you accumulated to neutralize via a discharge event. The static discharge is the electric shock.


Give the relationship between electrostatic and magnetostatic?

like magnets, two non conductive materials containing an electrostratic charge attract each other. if how ever something non conductive with an electrostatic charge touches something conductive it will discharge its built up electrostatic charge to attempt equalization or neutrality. ( what is felt when you touch a door handle and shock yourself. this is electrostatic charge built up in your body discharging on something or someone conductive.) when two people shock each other they arent conductive. there different static charges try and equalize.


Why are you more likely to receive a shock after walking across a carpet when the air is dry when the air is humid?

Walking across the carpet causes charges to build up on your body. On a humid day the water molecules in the air tend to be attracted to the excess charge, even though they are neutral they are polar and will still move toward a source of charge. when they contact the charged object they pick up some of the excess charge and carry it away. This constant draining of charge makes it much harder to build up the proper amount of charge to get a nice noticeable shock.also because it its like that

Why electrostatic experiment not work well in humidity?

Humidity increases the presence of water molecules in the air, which can interfere with the build-up and transfer of charge in electrostatic experiments. The water molecules can dissipate the charge more easily, leading to poorer results in humid conditions.


Why is build up of electrostatic charge on the aircraft dangerous?

The buildup of electrostatic charge on an aircraft can cause a spark which may ignite fuel vapors, leading to a potential fire or explosion. It can also interfere with the operation of electronic systems on the aircraft. Proper grounding and discharge techniques are used to prevent these dangers.


What is a build up of charges on an object?

The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.


Accumulation of electric charges on a object?

How can you cause charge to build up on an object?

you build up another object


Can a comb pick up bits of cork?

Because of electrostatic forces between two objects, when at least one of them carries a net electrostatic charge.


Why it is dangerous to touch the knob of aeroplane during flight?

When the aeroplane is in flight, the friction between the moving plane and the surrounding molecules causes a build up of a charge on the plane. This electrostatic force can have the same effect as a current in a wire.


How a conductor can build up a static charge?

A conductor can build up a static charge by gaining or losing electrons through friction with another material. This excess or deficit of electrons creates an imbalance in charge, leading to a build-up of static electricity on the surface of the conductor.


Why does static charge not tend to build up on a conductor?

Static charge does not tend to build up on a conductor because charges on a conductor move freely due to the presence of free electrons. Any excess charge present redistributes itself on the surface of the conductor, neutralizing and eliminating the build-up of static charge.


How does a Van de Graaff generator build up a static charge?

A Van de Graaff generator operates by transferring electric charge from a moving belt to a terminal, usually, a hollow metal ball. It is an electrostatic generator, similar in principle to what happens when you rub your feet against a carpet and touch your cat!


What is present when there is a build up of charge?

Increasing debt.
