A conductor will not produce static electricity because electrons in the conductor are free to move around easily. This means any excess charge will be quickly redistributed throughout the conductor, preventing the buildup of static electricity.

Can static electricity build up on an earthed conductor?

No, static electricity cannot build up on a conductor that is properly grounded (earthed). Grounding provides a path for the excess charge to flow into the earth, preventing the accumulation of static electricity on the conductor.


Can you give a sentence for static?

What is the best conductor for static electricity?

Metals such as copper and aluminum are good conductors of static electricity. They allow the charge to flow through them easily, preventing the build-up of static electricity.


What is a conductor of static electricity?

static electricity doesn't really need a conductor, a high enough voltage will cause electrons to jump a distance, without a conductor, as long as there is no insulator involved. All you need is a sufficient amount of free electrons on one side, say your finger tip, and a good ground on the other side, try a car door handle.


Is static electricity moving?

No, static electricity is stationary charges that are not moving. This type of electricity builds up on the surface of an object and can discharge when it comes into contact with a conductor.


Is it possible to produce electricity with tissue papers?

Yes, you could produce static electricity.


If rubber is a good insulator why do balloons attract static electricity?

Insulators can easily have static electricity. In case of conductors we have to follow some delicate procedure to store charges on it. Usually that is known to be electrostatic induction. But in case of insulators just rubbing would do to produce static electricity. Example: when a glass rod is rubbed against a silk cloth, then glass lose electrons to the silk and so glass becomes positively charged and silk negatively charged. So balloons being a bad conductor is good example to have static electricity. If it is good conductor then charges would flow through them easily and so not possible to produce static electricity just by rubbing.


Does copper absorb static electricity?

No, copper does not absorb static electricity. It is a good conductor of electricity, so any static charge on copper will quickly dissipate along its surface.


Electrons that move from one object to another and then remain at rest produce?

Is polyester a conductor of static electricity?

Polyester is a commonly used material that can generate static electricity due to its low conductivity. When sliding against another material, such as in clothing, friction creates a build-up of static charge in polyester fibers. Grounding or using antistatic treatments can help reduce static electricity in polyester materials.


What do fuel cells batteries and solar cells have in common?

They all produce static electricity.


Why doesn't wet hair produce static electricity?

It does, but the charges are immediately conducted away by the water.That's why you don't get zzapped scuffing across the carpet on a rainy day ...moisture in the air carries the charge off of you.
