Electrostatics

Clarence W. Hansell is credited as the inventor of the light conductor, also known as the fiber-optic cable, which is used for transmitting digital data.

No, in static electricity, electrons do not move continuously like in an electric current. Instead, the electrons redistribute themselves on the surface of objects, leading to an imbalance of charge that can cause static electricity to build up.

The answer is that Katie went swimming and a slap hit her in the face and she called it a wave. then a boat came and hit her and Ashley. it was a great time.

It was the best day of my life

So.. Does that mean they are both FAT???

no it means they are both very nice

1. Rubbing a balloon against hair to create static electricity.
2. Walking across a carpet and then receiving a shock when touching a metal doorknob.
3. Lightning during a thunderstorm is also an example of static electricity discharge.

You can ground the item that has a build up of the static charge. Ground straps are typically worn when working on static-discharge sensitive components like circuit boards in a server.

Otherwise, ground the item to discharge the static charge.

Note that the correct term is "static charge", which refers to the buildup or deficiency of electrons on a charged body.

No, static electricity cannot cause a sandstorm. Sandstorms are typically caused by natural weather phenomena such as strong winds lifting and carrying sand particles into the air. Static electricity results from the build-up of electric charge on the surface of objects.

the direction it turns dictates wether the air is being pushed down or the air is being pulled up.

there is a way to swap so you can choose wich you would rather. but most of the time it is assumed that people want the air to be pushed down.

Static electricity is a noun phrase consisting of an adjective ("static") and a noun ("electricity").

In magnetism Coulomb's law states that the force of attraction or repulsion between two magnetic poles is directly proportional to the product of their pole strength and inversely proportional to the square of distance them .

And in electrostatic, coulomb's law states that the electrostatic force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their magnitudes and inversely proportional to the square of distance between their centres.

Static electricity and current electricity both involve the movement of electric charges. However, in static electricity, charges build up on an object and remain stationary, while in current electricity, charges flow in a continuous path. Both types of electricity can cause sparks or shocks when discharged.

When an object is charged, it either has a surplus or deficiency of electrons. If it has a surplus, the object is negatively charged, and if it has a deficiency, then it is positively charged (has more protons than electrons).

Metals are conductors of electricity, so when they are rubbed, any excess charge is quickly dissipated through the metal's lattice structure and into the surrounding environment. This makes it difficult to build up a significant static charge on metals through rubbing alone.

No, the charge of a hollow sphere and a solid sphere of the same diameter will be the same as long as they are both made of the same material. In both cases, the charge resides on the outer surface of the sphere due to electrostatic repulsion.

Static electricity occurs when there is a buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object. This buildup can happen when two different materials rub against each other and transfer electrons, causing one material to become positively charged and the other to become negatively charged.

1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb per second
0.25 A = 0.25 Coulomb per sec

1 minute = 60 seconds
20 minutes = (20 x 60) = 1,200 seconds

0.25 A for 20 minutes = (0.25 x 1,200) = 300 Amp-seconds = 300 Coulombs of charge

I'm not 100% sure because were just starting this in class today.

Let's say you have a negatively charged ebonite rod and you brought it toward a neutral pithball (if you don't know what that is just picture a shere). Before you brought the rod near the pithball, the protons and electrons in the pithball are spread out evenly. When u bring the negatively charged rod towards the pithball the electrons in the pithball move to the otherside of the ball. The protons never move but are now closer to the negatively charged ebonite rod. So technically, it reacts like a positively charged object would and attrcts to the negative ebonite rod ( unlike charges attract). But once the ebonite rod is moved away from the pithball, the pithball is neutral.

The pithball is always neutral because there's no transfer of electrons but I guess it is technically temporarily charged.

I'm not sure if that's what your looking for but I hope it helped a bit.

Electronic charges (electrons) move between 2 different positions because of an

electrical property called "difference of potential " (or charge).

If one position is charged with several hundred volts, say in the case of static electricity, and it is moved toward a conductor which has no charge, the charged item

will break down the air's resistance, and discharge to the neutrally charged conductor, when it gets close enough. That is why you sometimes feel a shock in the winter, when you touch a doorknob, or step out of a car to a (damp) concrete floor. You are the element which acquired the charge, and you feel the shock when you discharge to ground. Even though the charge may be several hundred volts, it is harmless to you

because of the low current involved. I still however, find it painful.

If you are asking why electricity flows through a wire, it is still due to the difference of potential discussed above. Just think of the wire, (or conductor), as a pipe for the electrons to flow through, between the two reference points at the ends of the pipe. When one electron goes in one end, one electron comes out the other end. This flow of electrons is what we call "current".

Static electricity can cause damage to the components of a circuit board and can also ignite combustibles. In order to prevent the build up of a static charge you will have to keep yourself and the equipment your working on grounded.

I will first answer this from an electrical viewpoint. The maximum positive excursion from zero would be the PEAK, or MAXIMUM portion of the cycle.

From a magnetic point, it would be POSITIVE.

The negative excursion of the electrical cycle (below zero) would be the MINIMUM.

It would be NEGATIVE from a magnetic perspective.

Charging by rubbing, also known as triboelectric charging, is a process where two different materials are rubbed together, causing a transfer of electrons between the materials. This transfer of electrons results in one material becoming positively charged and the other becoming negatively charged.

When a balloon is rubbed against another object like hair, electrons are transferred from one surface to the other, resulting in an imbalance of charge. The balloon becomes negatively charged, causing it to attract positively charged particles in the environment, creating static electricity.

The frequency of ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 300 nm can be calculated using the equation speed of light = frequency x wavelength. The speed of light is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. By rearranging the equation, we find that the frequency is around 1.00 x 10^15 Hz.

If you touch a positively charged object to a positively charged electroscope, the electroscope may become even more positively charged due to the transfer of additional positive charge. This could result in greater divergence of the leaves of the electroscope, indicating a higher level of positive charge on the electroscope as a result of the contact with the positively charged object.
