recall the potential dangers of electrostatic charges, eg when fuelling aircraft and
tankers
Electrostatic force is the force that exists between charged objects. The strength of this force depends on the amount of charge on the objects. The greater the charge, the stronger the electrostatic force between them.
Yes, an electroscope is a device that detects the presence of an electrostatic charge and can indicate the polarity of the charge through the direction of deflection of its metal leaves. If the leaves separate, it indicates a charge is present.
The buildup of electrostatic charge on an aircraft can cause a spark which may ignite fuel vapors, leading to a potential fire or explosion. It can also interfere with the operation of electronic systems on the aircraft. Proper grounding and discharge techniques are used to prevent these dangers.
Electrostatic plotters work by applying a charge to a plotting medium, typically paper coated with a special material. An electrostatic pen carries a charge that is used to attract or repel the plotting medium, creating an image. By controlling the intensity and location of the charge, the pen can draw precise lines on the paper.
If one charge is quadrupled, the electrostatic force between the charges will increase by a factor of 4. This is because the electrostatic force is directly proportional to the product of the two charges involved.
when your clothes rub against your skin an electrostatic charge is made.
Charge can also be present on insulators and because these materials do not allow the charge to flow, this is called electrostatic charge

Charge ratio in an electrostatic precipitator is the ratio of the amount of charge supplied to the amount of dust particles present in the gas stream. This parameter is important as it determines the efficiency of particle collection in the electrostatic precipitator. A higher charge ratio typically results in better particle collection efficiency.

It detects electrostatic charge. (Static electricity).

Yes, chalk on a blackboard can acquire an electrostatic charge when written or moved on the surface, due to friction between the chalk and the board. This charge can attract or repel other objects nearby.
You will get an electrostatic shock if you are electrically charged and you touch a good conductor of electricity.
