is Form of energy that produce light
effects, Mechanical, heaters, chemicals,
etc.
It refers to the accumulation of excess electric
charge in an area with poor electrical
conductivity, an insulating so that charge
accumulation continues.
The materials we deal with in our daily
lives are made up of atoms and
molecules are electrically neutral
because they have the same number of
positive charges (protons in the nucleus)
than negative charges (electrons around
the nucleus).
occurs when certain
materials are rubbed
against each other, such as
wool against plastic or
shoe soles against the
carpet, where
the rubbing process causes electrons from the surface of
a material may be removed and relocated on the surface
of another material that offers more favorable energy
levels
The ability of electrification called friction
bodies triboelectric effect; there is a
classification of different materials called
triboelectric sequence.
Static electricity is commonly used in screen
printing, in air filters in some automotive
paints, in some subatomic particles
accelerators, etc.
Small components of
electronic circuits can be
easily damaged by static
electricity.
Today most semiconductor
components field effect, which are the
most sensitive
It includes internal
circuitry antistatic
