Most aircraft have static discharge wires attached to rear of wings and lower fuselage.
A rapid movement of excess charge from one place to another is known as an electrical discharge. This phenomena can result in lightning, electric sparks, or discharge in electronic devices.
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.
A static discharge. The friction from walking on the carpet builds up a static charge on your body, and when you touch the metal doorknob, the excess charge is quickly released in the form of a static discharge, creating a shock.
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.
The loss of static electricity as a charge moves off an object is known as discharge. This discharge occurs when the excess electrons in the object move to another conductor or the surrounding air, neutralizing the object. This can happen through processes like conduction, induction, or even sparking.

The movement of static electricity is called discharge. This occurs when an excess of electric charge accumulates in one area and then seeks to neutralize by moving to another area with a lower charge.
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.
Static Charge
One way to create static discharge on a balloon is to rub it against a wool or fleece material. The rubbing action transfers electrons between the balloon and the material, creating a static charge. When you touch the balloon after rubbing, you may feel a small shock as the excess charge discharges.
Static electricity in airplanes can build up due to friction between the plane and the air. This buildup can cause sparks and potential interference with electronic equipment. To prevent this, airplanes are equipped with static discharge wicks or metallic strips to safely dissipate the static charge into the air.
Walking on a wool carpet can cause the buildup of electrostatic charge on your body. When you touch a metal doorknob, the excess electrons from your body discharge to the knob, creating a static shock.
The source returns to a balanced state.
