Inside an electrostatic precipitator some of the electrodes are made to be positively charged and some of them are made to be negatively charged. Usually the voltage between the electrodes is very high. When smoke or other exhaust gases are sent through the precipitator particles in the gas with negative charges tend to go to the positively charged electrodes and positively charged particles go to the negatively charged electrodes. When the particles reach the electrodes many are neutralised and fall to the bottom of the precipitator where they may be collected periodically. Some cling to the electrodes which means that precipitators must be cleaned periodically too.

∙ 10y agoStatic electricity is found in the phenomenon of lightning. The motion of materials within the turbulent flows of a thundercloud result in separation of electrons, and large accumulations of positive ions. This net positive electric field charge exerts an electrostatic attractive force on objects touching the ground. Because of this, electrons stream upward from those objects. When the attraction between these fields causes the upward-moving stream of electrons to reconnect with the positive ions in the clouds, the fields connect, and a large electrostatic discharge occurs in the form of lightning.

The Ozone layer above the atmosphere, does however form a protective layer.

What are the four names of applications that use electrostatic principles?
Electrostatic paint sprayer, used for the coat of paint on a car, plane, etc. Photocopier. Electrostatic precipitator, used to clean polluted air. Sorry, I only know three.
How do you use static electricity?
everything electronic is static electricity
What are some ways you use static electricity?
Photo Copy machines use static electricity to get the ink in the places where it needs to be copied. There's an artist that uses static electricity to fly the different paint onto the paper. They also use static electricity to paint cars. (True enough, I got the artist thing from Bill Nye The Science Guy)
How do you overcome the dangers of static electricity?
The best way to overcome the dangers of static electricity is to use proper grounding so that the accumulated charges are discharged.
Can you use static electricity to light a light bulb?
no not easily
What does Electrostatic separation mean?
Electrostatic separation - is the use of static electricity to separate one substance from another.
How do chimneys in power stations work to attract soot particles?
Chimneys in power stations use electrostatic precipitator to attract soot particles. Electrostatic precipitator are filtration devices that use electromagnetic charges to remove particles from gases.

What is the difference between spark and static?
Static is the name of an electricity, a spark is like the outcome of friction. Like, you can use static electricity to make a spark.
How do inkjet printers use static electricity?
no.

Why do you use the word static to describe static electricity?
Static means it doesn't move. This is essentially what static electricity is, a charge tht has no current. It is made by the transfer of electrons, as a pose to a cell or battery.
How do you use statics?
everything electronic is static electricity
How do you know static electricity is present?
An electrostatic meter reads static electricity without contact - and is safer to use if very high voltage of static build-up is likely to be present. Under more normal examples of static build-up (in your body, or conductive surface, nylon carpet, etc.) a spark will jump between your finger and the conductive material. As a static spark could cause a fire (in a corn mill, and in sensitive production processes, etc.) all the equipment will be earthed.
Does PVC pipe generate static electricity?
A PVC pipe alone does not generate static electricity. Electrons need to be transfered for static electricity to be generated. Rubbing felt on the pipe or spraying it with sand are two common ways that people can use PVC pipe to generate static electricity.
What would someone use an anti static bag for?
An anti-static storage bag is a bag made of a slightly conductive material. This prevents large static charges from building up on parts placed inside the bag. These bags are typically used to protect sensitive electronics, such as computer cards, which could be damaged by static electricity.
