Paint spraying cars: the paint particles are given a negative charge, and the car frame is given a positive charge, so the paint sprays out, and sicks to the car, and is attracted to all the hard- to reach areas
Electrosatic precipitator; in coal fired power station theses are used to stop the dust particles reaching the atmosphere. Particles of ass pass through a charged grid, and becone charged. They then stick to plated either side of this grid, where they can be disposed of safely
Photocopier; A charged drum is in the photocopier. Light is then shone through the paper, and whete ther is no print light hits the drum and it looses its charge. This leaves charge where there needs to be ink. Ink is the pulled onto the charged drum, and transfered onto paper
Antistatic floors; to avoid static charges in hospital, the floors are made out of an antistatic material, so no charge can build up.
What else can I help you with?
What technology uses static electricity?
Piezoelectric discharge (some butane lighters)
Which is more useful static or current electricity?
It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.
How did Ben Franklin prove that lightning was static electricity?
Ben Franklin proved that lightning was static electricity by means of his kite experiment. He believed that lighting was a form of static electricity on a huge scale.
Is there a spray for static electricity in carpets?
yes
Is it easier to generate static electricity in a dry room or a humid room?
When the air is dry, static electricity is enhanced and more noticeable because of the easiness in transfer of electrons.
A device that uses static electricity to form images?
Is a photocopier.
Devise that uses static electricity to form images?
photocopier
Are apliances and house hold power uses of static electricity?
yes they are.
What technology uses static electricity?
Piezoelectric discharge (some butane lighters)
Why can static electricity not to be used to run a television?
static electricity is static electricity
What type of electricity is not useful?
The LEAST useful form of energy is Static Electricity however it to still find some uses.
What is the type of electricity that electrons build up on an object?
static electricity
How does a photocopier use static electricity?
A photocopier uses static electricity to attract toner particles onto the paper. The drum in the photocopier is charged with static electricity, which attracts the toner particles. When the toner particles are transferred onto the paper, the static charge helps to keep them in place until they are heat-fused onto the paper.
Is lightning a current or static electricity?
static electricity
Does static electricity have a smell?
No, static electricity does not have a smell.
What does static electricity constitute?
Static electricity constitutes of charges that are static i.e. they do not move.
What is useful about static electricity?
You can move things with static electricity!
