What is the opposite of static electricity?

"Fenetic"- No, that doesn't exist. I'm not sure what is the opposite of static electricity yet. Static Electricity is a stationary electric charge or a stationary electric charge that builds up on an insulated object such as a capacitor or a thundercloud


What type of electricity comes from stationary electrical charges?

Static electricity comes from stationary electrical charges. These charges build up when certain materials are rubbed together, causing the transfer of electrons and the creation of a charge imbalance.


What is Stationary electric charge called?

A stationary electric charge is called an electric static charge.

Does static electricity move?

yes, static electricity travels to sharp edges.


What are electric charge?

the static electric charges refer to the charges which are at rest, in other words stationary positions.


Why does a spark jump from your hand to the doorknob as you reach for the door after walking across a carpeted floor?

because electrical charge builds up otherwise know as static electricity

What is the definition of stationary electricity?

A static electrical charge is carried on an insulating material. This is usually in the form of an excess of electrons attached to the insulator. A static charge may only be carried on the outside of a container - for the usual laws of repulsion apply. You could also consider the charge carried by a capacitor to be a static charge - in this case, the charge is carried in the form of distortion of the molecules of the insulator internal to the capacitor. A form of piezo charge. Another possibility would be the charge carried inside a chemical cell, which is generated by the reactions inside. Commonly miscalled a battery, though that name strictly applies to an assembly of cells, not a single one.


Why should the metal spheres be placed on insulated stands?

Metal spheres should be placed on insulated stands to prevent electrical grounding and minimize the loss of charge. Insulating materials block the flow of electricity, ensuring that the spheres maintain their electric charge without discharging to the ground. This setup is crucial in experiments or applications involving electrostatics, where maintaining a specific charge is essential for accurate results or effective functioning. Additionally, insulated stands help protect users from electric shock and improve overall safety.
