Why does dry air cause more static electricity?
You get a shock when electrons move from a negatively charged surface to a less negatively charged surface. You see a shock then the electrond flow through the air... and ZAP... you feel it too. The electricity has an "easier" time moving though the air when it is dry, so you need less of a charge to get a shock. When there's more moisture in the air, it's tougher! It's the other way around. Moist air conducts electricity better than dry air, so charge bleeds off quickly. When the air is dry, the electrons can hang around on your body for a long time, charging you up to thousands of volts. That can last until you touch something that can conduct them away, like a doorknob or your significant other. Electronics manufacturers have a devil of a time with static jumping onto sensitive parts and damaging them. Electronic assembly areas typically have to keep the humidity above a specified level (maybe 40%) to reduce the charge on the workers.
If you mean negative as in having to do with the transfer of electrons, then yes. Clouds during thunderstorms build up static electricity when air and water molecules rub together due to temperature and pressure differences. The charges of regions of the clouds become different, and those differences in charge must be neutralized. This is what a lightning bolt is. It is electrons being transferred to another part of the cloud, or other clouds, or the earth.
Harvesting the power of lightning has proved to be very difficult, and no one has successfully found a way. A lightning strike happens very quickly, so extremely high electrical power is involved. It is difficult to convert high voltage power to the lower-voltage electricity that can be stored. Theoretically, yes, the energy from a lightning bolt be caught and stored. Practically, no, you would never be able to build a big enough capacitor to hold the charge. There is just too much energy in a lightning bolt to harness with today's technology. although there are those that believe this fulminology machine actually exists and at this moment in time is being withheld due the enormity of its consequences?

Can a liquid retain electrical charge?
Yes, liquids can retain electrical charge. When an electric current flows through a liquid, ions can accumulate at the surface of the liquid, creating a charge imbalance. This can result in the liquid retaining an electrical charge.
The discharge of static electricity in thunderclouds is seen as?
Lightning, which is a visible electric discharge between the clouds or between the clouds and the ground. This discharge of static electricity heats the surrounding air, causing a rapid expansion that creates thunder.
Simple: chalk dust has no magnetic properties whatsoever, and is an insulator. As such, the magnetic field will flow right past it as if it weren't there, so it cannot position itself accordingly.
What is higher 5.8e7 or 9.5e5 conductivity of metals?
5.8e7 is a larger number than 9.5e5.
5.8e7 can be written as 58,000,000, and 9.5e5 can be written as 950,000.
Conductivity is a measure of the ability of a material to conduct electricity. A large conductivity means that the material conducts electricity well. The units of electrical conductivity are siemens per meter (Sm-1).
What are 5 facts about static electricity?
Which wavelength has the lowest frequency?
The longest one does.
If you're talking about visible light, then it's the last color you can see
on the red end.
If you're talking about the electromagnetic spectrum in general, then
there's no such thing as the "lowest" frequency.
What does symbol B mean in physics?
In physics, symbol B is often used to represent magnetic field. Magnetic fields are vector quantities that exert a force on moving electric charges and magnetic materials. This symbol is commonly used in equations involving electromagnetic phenomena.
What will happened to the strength of electric field inside a shell of charge?
Inside a shell of charge, the electric field strength is zero, regardless of the thickness of the shell or the distribution of charge on it. This is due to the property of electrostatics known as Gauss's Law, which states that the electric field inside a closed surface enclosing a charge distribution is zero.
How do you calculate Electric field due to an isolated point charge point charge?
yes it can We have Epsilon equals charge by area imagine a photographic enlargement of the charge inside which this point charge exists then you can calculate B(Mag. Field intensity) We have E=Int.(B.dA) Was ur doubt clarified?
How are electricity static electricity and magnetism related?
well in simple terms a static electricity is charge, which is a basic quality of matter , in fact it is as basic as mass. Now, a charge in motion is a current or in other words electricity. And magnetism is a result of the motion of charge. so in a way these all three are related.
A moving electric charge produces both an electric field and a magnetic field. The magnetic field surrounds the moving charge and is perpendicular to both the direction of motion and the electric field. This combined electromagnetic field is described by Maxwell's equations.
What is the removal of static electricity by conduction to the earth called?
The removal of static electricity by conduction to the earth is called grounding. It involves connecting an object to the ground to neutralize any excess electrical charge.
The charge on the balloon would be -1.6 x 10^-12 coulombs.
What are the small individual areas within a magnet called?
magnetic domains. itdescribes a region within a magnetic material which has uniform magnetization. This means that the individual magnetic moments of the atoms are aligned with one another and point in the same direction. Below a temperature called the Curie temperature, a piece of ferromagnetic material undergoes a phase transition and its magnetization spontaneously divides into many tiny magnetic domains, with their magnetic axes pointing in different directions. Magnetic domain structure is responsible for the magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials like iron. The regions separating magnetic domains are called domain walls where the magnetisation rotates coherently from the direction in one domain to that in the next domain.
Static in static electricity describes what property of the charge?
The "static" in static electricity describes that the charge is unmoving, or staying in one place. A movement of electrons is not occuring, however there is an electrical charge.
The opposite would be current electricity that flows, and that you would find in electric cords, etc...
What does static electricity and current electricity have in common?
Static electricity and current electricity both involve the movement of electrical charge. In static electricity, charges build up on objects without flowing, while in current electricity, charges flow continuously in a closed circuit. Both types of electricity can result in the attraction or repulsion of objects due to the presence of opposite or like charges.
How do you attract customers to a bar?
You can attract customers to a bar by offering unique drink specials, hosting events like live music or themed nights, promoting your bar on social media platforms, collaborating with influencers or local businesses, and providing excellent customer service to create a welcoming atmosphere.
How can a molecule have an instantaneous dipole?
If you mean a dipole which only lasts for an instant, then you have to picture the electrons of the molecule surrounding the nuclei. In a non-polar molecule the electrons are shared evenly on average, but at any one second they may be distributed so that there is a greater density at one end than another, i.e. there is a temporary dipole.
What are the Advantages of air not being a conductor of electricity?
if air is a conductor of electricity ,then everyone will be undergone for great electric shock because air is everywhere . without air we cant live .
Air can be a conductor but is a better insulator! An example of it conducting is lightning. If it was not a better insulator we would not be able survive. Another advantage is: the ability to string high voltage wires for the transmission of electricity.
When you charge the end of a plastic comb and then transfer that charge to a round metal ball, the charge on the ball quickly spreads out to the entire surface due to the conductive nature of the metal ball. The charge on the comb is transferred to the entire surface of the ball, resulting in a more evenly distributed charge across the metal ball.
What is the Difference between left hand rule and right hand rule?
Fleming's right hand rule shows the direction of induced current flow when a conductor moves in a magnetic field.
Fleming's left hand rule shows the direction of the thrust on a conductor carrying a current in a magnetic field.
Where is the electric field in conducting and non-conducting sheets?
In a conducting sheet, the electric field is zero inside the material but can exist on the surface due to excess charge redistribution. In a non-conducting sheet, the electric field can exist both inside the material and on the surface, depending on the charge distribution.
