Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges on a surface of a material. The charge stays there until it connects to another surface. It makes a shock because one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electrical currents.

What are the different types of electrostatic discharge?

There are three main types of electrostatic discharge (ESD): direct discharge, indirect discharge, and field-induced discharge. Direct discharge occurs when a charged object comes into direct contact with another object. Indirect discharge happens when the charged object interacts with another object that is not in direct contact. Field-induced discharge occurs when the electric field between objects causes a discharge without direct contact.

How do you use the airbrush capabilities on Photoshop CS2?

You have to activate it by clicking the button that looks like an airbrush. You will see it when you use the brush tool on the top of you screen. As far as I know it "simulates" an airbrush. You will see this when you stay in one place with your left mouse button clicked. It will add more and more ink to the same place without you having to move it. The normal brush does not do this. Try it.
