  2. Static electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity

    The charge remains until it can move away by an electric current or electrical discharge. The word "static" is used to differentiate it from current electricity, where an electric charge flows through an electrical conductor. [1] A static electric charge can be created whenever two surfaces contact and/or slide against each other and then separate.

  3. Triboelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboelectric_effect

    Air moving past an aircraft can lead to a buildup of charge called "precipitation static" or "P-static"; aircraft typically have one or more static wicks to remove it. [143] Checking the status of these is a standard task for pilots. [144] Similarly, helicopter blades move fast, and tribocharging can generate voltages up to 200 kV. [145]

  4. Memory effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_effect

    In modern electronic equipment that monitors the voltage to indicate battery charge, the battery appears to be draining very quickly. To the user, it appears the battery is not holding its full charge, which seems similar to memory effect. This is a common problem with high-load devices such as digital cameras and cell phones. [citation needed]

    Rather than throwing these items away, the owners give away items -- such as free baby stuff or outdoor furniture -- to the general public. Scope the things you should never buy new to get ideas.

  8. Space charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_charge

    As an application example, the steady-state space-charge-limited current across a piece of intrinsic silicon with a charge-carrier mobility of 1500 cm 2 /V-s, a relative dielectric constant of 11.9, an area of 10 −8 cm 2 and a thickness of 10 −4 cm can be calculated by an online calculator to be 126.4 μA at 3 V. Note that in order for this ...

  9. Electrostatic discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_discharge

    A charged device model (CDM) test is used to define the ESD a device can withstand when the device itself has an electrostatic charge and discharges due to metal contact. This discharge type is the most common type of ESD in electronic devices and causes most of the ESD damages in their manufacturing.
