If you touch the charged item to the ground, the charge will go into the ground. This is because static electricity is caused by either having too many or not enough elecrons. When toughed to the ground, the item will either get rid of the electrons or pick more up, making it neutral.
What else can I help you with?
What is an atmospheric discharge of static electricity called?
An atmospheric discharge of static electricity is commonly known as lightning. Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge that occurs during a thunderstorm when there is a buildup of electric charge in the atmosphere.
What is the loss of static electricity called?
The loss of static electricity is called "discharge." This occurs when excess electric charge on an object is neutralized by transferring electrons to or from another object.
What state does the source return to after the electrical discharge in a static electricity?
After an electrical discharge in static electricity, the source typically returns to a neutral state, meaning it has neither a positive nor negative charge. The excess charge that caused the static electricity is usually dissipated into the air or transferred to another object during the discharge.
How does lightning create electricity?
Lightning is a natural discharge of static electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm. When a storm cloud builds up an excess of negative electrical charges at the bottom and positive charges at the top, they seek to balance out, resulting in a powerful discharge of electricity in the form of lightning. This discharge is what creates the electrical currents of lightning.
What is a short paragraph using the terms static electricity and electric discharge?
Static electricity is the accumulation of electric charge on an object. When this charge builds up, it can lead to an electric discharge, where the excess charge is released through a sudden flow of current. This discharge can be seen as sparks or arcs of electricity between objects with different electrical potentials.
A discharge of static electricity from a huge cloud is called a?
A discharge of static electricity from a huge cloud is called lightning.
Is the static discharge a flow of electrons?
Static discharge is the spark associated with static electricity that is caused by electrostatic discharge.
How can electricity discharge harm you?
getting a shock
What is the discharge of static electricity in the atmosphere?
"lightning"
Electrostatic discharge is commonly known as what?
static electricity
What is the visible discharge of electricity?
It's called LIGHTNING.
What is an atmospheric discharge of static electricity called?
An atmospheric discharge of static electricity is commonly known as lightning. Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge that occurs during a thunderstorm when there is a buildup of electric charge in the atmosphere.
The discharge of static electricity in thunderclouds is seen as?
Lightning, which is a visible electric discharge between the clouds or between the clouds and the ground. This discharge of static electricity heats the surrounding air, causing a rapid expansion that creates thunder.
Electrostatic discharge is commonly known as?
i think its static electricity.
What is the loss of static electricity called?
The loss of static electricity is called "discharge." This occurs when excess electric charge on an object is neutralized by transferring electrons to or from another object.
What state does the source return to after the electrical discharge in a static electricity?
After an electrical discharge in static electricity, the source typically returns to a neutral state, meaning it has neither a positive nor negative charge. The excess charge that caused the static electricity is usually dissipated into the air or transferred to another object during the discharge.
What is the largest discharge of static eletricity you have ever seen?
the largest discharge is neurons and nucleus
