An electric eel can, in theory, generate burst of 1 Amp at 500 volts, which is more than enough to kill a human that is close enough. They only generate 300 microwatts on a continuous basis.

A static discharge differs form an electric current in that a static discharge?

A static discharge is a sudden flow of electricity between two objects with different electric potential, whereas an electric current is a continuous flow of electric charge in a closed circuit. Static discharge occurs due to a build-up of static electricity, while electric current flows due to an applied voltage.


What cuases electric discharge?

Potential differnce. For example, when too much voltage is built up within a thunderhead, the potential difference is high and a discharge occurs.


How does an electric discharge occur?

An electric discharge occurs when a high voltage potential difference causes electrons to rapidly move through a medium, creating a flow of electric current. This flow of electrons can create visible light, heat, and sound, often seen in phenomena such as lightning or electrical sparks.


What is a device that changes electric current into a different voltage?

Nothing can change electric current to voltage. You can compare "current " to rate of flow, while "voltage" is the energy level. Transformers can be used to increase or decrease the voltages of alternating current as is done from 'street power' to domestic power.


What is the relationship between static electricity and voltage?

Static electricity is a buildup of electric charge on an object, while voltage is the measure of electric potential difference between two points. The relationship between static electricity and voltage is that static electricity can create a voltage difference when there is a buildup of charge, leading to the potential for electrical discharge or sparks.

How does capacitor discharge while ac supply is on?

For part of the AC voltage wave, the capacitor will be above the source voltage, and will discharge until the AC voltage wave increases above the capacitor's stored voltage.


a current through a circuit with a static discharge?

Compare and contrast a current traveling through a circuit with a static discharge. Both are a movement of electrons from the negative to the positive charge. A circuit has a continuous current provided by a voltage source. A static discharge is a very rapid, non-continuous transfer of charge.


Is voltage the derivative of electric field?

No, voltage is not the derivative of electric field. Voltage is a measure of electric potential difference, while electric field is a measure of the force experienced by a charged particle in an electric field.


What is the relationship between voltage and the electric field in a given system?

In a given system, the relationship between voltage and the electric field is that the electric field is directly proportional to the voltage. This means that as the voltage increases, the electric field strength also increases. Conversely, if the voltage decreases, the electric field strength will also decrease.

Argon is a mono-atomic colorless gas exhibiting an lilac/violet glow when placed in a high voltage electric field (as in gas-discharge lamps)
