Electrostatics
Electrostatics is the branch of physics that deals with the study of charges at rest. A common electrostatic phenomena is plastic wrap sticking to your hand and itself when removed from the box. Everything to do with electrostatics goes in this category.
500 Questions
When you rub an air filles balloon with your dry hair and press it against the wall . Explain why?
Asked by Wiki User
The friction from rubbing the balloon against your hair charges the balloon up with static electricity.
What is the magic behind when we comb dry hair it attracts pieces of paper?
Asked by Wiki User
It's called static electricity. Static charges can attract or repel other static charges.
When the static electricity is charges which are generated on a cloud is suddenly discharge to the earth what is happening?
Asked by Wiki User
What does the electrostatic force do?
Asked by Wiki User
It makes electrical charges attract one another, or repel one another.
Does static electricity affect objects?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, static electricity does affect objects.
What are some dangerous forms of static electricity?
Asked by Wiki User
Lightning is a dangerous form of static electricity.
Why is a neutral object attractred to a charged object?
Asked by Wiki User
This is known as electrostatic induction. As charged object (say positive) is brought near by the neutral object the opposite charges i.e. negative would get attracted towards and positive charges would be pushed away. Yet the object is neutral though the charges got separated. Now due to attraction of unlike charges the neutral is attracted towards the charged one.
How would you demonstrate static electricity with plastic comb dry hair pieces of paper?

What is turned in a galvanometer?
Asked by Wiki User
The suspending coil of wire gets turned by a torque due to flow of current though it. This torque is due to Lorentz force acting on the two arms of the rectangular coil.
