Static Electricity

Static Electricity in Action?

Can you see static electricity in action? Find out more about some demonstrations or experiments that can let you "see" static electrcity. If not,
see this and this.


The Good and the Bad about Static Electrcity

Watch the following video. Ask yourself what happened in the end and why.

Static ignition is undesirable. Do you know how to prevent its occurrence? However is static electricity all bad and no good? Click here.


Static Electricity & Dust

We know static electricity is applied in electrostatic precipitators to remove dust particles from air. What about vacuum cleaner? We use it to clean up as well isn't it? So how does it work? Read to find out more.
