A static discharge typically needs to be around 3,000 volts for a human to feel it. The exact voltage threshold can vary depending on factors such as humidity, skin moisture, and individual sensitivity.

What is a high altitude static discharge?

Well I think iM not sure that high altitude discharge its when the charged solar particles acumulate and the lighting occurs and the gorgeuus celestial phenomenon resulting from this effect its the aurora


What is the release of static electricity in the atmosphere?

The release of static electricity in the atmosphere is known as lightning. It occurs when the buildup of static charge in clouds or between clouds and the ground discharges in the form of a visible electrical discharge. Lightning can be accompanied by thunder and can be dangerous due to its high voltage and heat.


How can you tell when static electricity has been discharged?

Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge. Static electricity is named in contrast with current electricity, which flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy.[1] A static electric charge can be created whenever two surfaces contact and have worn and separated, and at least one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electric current (and is, therefore, an electrical insulator). The effects of static electricity are familiar to most people because people can feel, hear, and even see the spark as the excess charge is neutralized when brought close to a large electrical conductor (for example, a path to ground), or a region with an excess charge of the opposite polarity (positive or negative). The familiar phenomenon of a static shock – more specifically, an electrostatic discharge – is caused by the neutralization of charge.


What is the relationship between the voltage of static electricity and its effects on electronic devices?

The relationship between the voltage of static electricity and its effects on electronic devices is that higher voltage levels can cause damage to electronic devices. When static electricity builds up and discharges at a high voltage, it can create a surge of electrical energy that can overload and potentially harm the delicate components of electronic devices. It is important to handle electronic devices carefully to prevent static electricity buildup and discharge.


What does the Tesla coil have to do with static electricity?

In 1901 Nikola Tesla was one the first to identify "radiant energy." Tesla says that the source of this energy is our Sun. He concluded that the Sun emits small particles, each carrying so small of a charge, that they move with great velocity, exceeding that of light. When radiant energy is cooled down it becomes static electricy. That is why in places when it is cold, rubbing feets in the carpet makes a static discharge. Nikola Tesla was born in a midnight under a lightning storm which some people believe he was prone to understand eletricity.

How does a static discharge differ from an electric current?

It doesn't differ at all, an electric current is electricity that is moving in a current and when static electricity is discharged from an object it creates a current from one object to another


Why shouldn't you use metals to conduct static electricity?

Metals are perfectly fine if all you want is to discharge the static electricity, but they conduct so well that the discharge often results in a very high current spark.To reduce the possibility of such sparks (which can trigger explosions, damage electronics, etc.) it is better to use high resistance dissipative materials (e.g. treated plastics, humidifiers, air ionizers, in-line megohm resistors on wriststraps, etc.) to slowly discharge the static electricity.

Is it possible to pass electricity in a controlled manner from a heavily (static)charged body?

I assume you want to discharge them slowly. You can connect it to other (uncharged) bodies using a connection that has a fairly high resistance. The higher the resistance, the slower the electricity will discharge.


Anti-static vacuum is use for what?

These vacumns are used to clean the insides of computers and printers. Since dust passing thru nozzles at high speed will generate static charges the vacumn must be specially built to be "antistatic" a regular vacumn cleaner could damage your computer with a static discharge. Bill Butterman


Why is static higher on a dry day than a humid day?

Water molecules allows some electricity to constantly discharge. Only little humidity and the static electricity can grow to a quite high voltage. A lot of humidity will counteract this. As voltage increases, more will be dissipated by the moisture.
