Static electricity comes from electrons moving from one object to another.

When you get shocked touching a door knob, the electrons are moving from your hand to the door knob.

How does static electrictricity damage computers?

The discharge of excess static electricity on a computer could ruin your RAM if you are touching the RAM sticks bare-handed. RAM uses tiny cells filled with a small electrical charge to register either a 0 or 1, which is used as the basis of computer memory. When static electricity comes into contact with the RAM, it could disrupt the electrical charge inside the RAM cells and permanently ruin it.

Is lighting a static charge or is it produce by static charge?

Lightning is produced by the buildup and discharge of static electricity in the atmosphere, typically caused by the separation of positive and negative charges within a cloud or between a cloud and the ground. So, it is produced by static charge rather than being static charge itself.


What conditions are needed for static friction to come into play?

Static friction comes into play when an object is at rest or stationary and a force is applied to it that is not enough to overcome the force of static friction. The surfaces of the object and the surface it is in contact with must be in contact and in fact.


Is static electricity caused by opposite charges?

Yes, static electricity is caused by the buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object. This charge imbalance can occur when two objects with opposite charges come into contact and become separated, creating a static charge.

Does metals have static charge?

Metals can develop a static charge when they come into contact with other materials through processes like friction or induction. However, metals are good conductors of electricity, so any static charge they acquire would usually be quickly dissipated.


How does static elektricity exist?

Static electricity exists when there is an imbalance of electric charge on the surface of an object. This imbalance occurs when electrons are rubbed off one material onto another, creating a build-up of static charge. When these charged objects come in contact with each other or with a conductor, the electrons can flow, resulting in a static electricity discharge.


How is static produce?

Static electricity is produced when two different materials come into contact and then separate, causing a transfer of electrons between the two materials. This transfer of electrons creates an imbalance in the electrical charge on the surface of the materials, resulting in static electricity.
