Contact-induced charge separation
 Turboelectric effect
Pressure-induced charge separation
 Piezoelectric effect
Heat-induced charge separation
 Pyroelectric effect
Charge-induced charge separation
 Electrostatic induction
Static build-up in flowing flammable and ignitable
materials
 The flowing movement of finely powdered substances or
through mechanical agitation can build up static electricity.

 Dust clouds of finely powdered substances can become

combustible or explosive.
The ability of a fluid to retain an electrostatic charge depends on
its electrical conductivity. When low conductivity fluids flow
through pipelines or are mechanically agitated, contact-induced
charge separation called flow electrification occurs.

Fluids that have low electrical conductivity (below 50 pico

siemens/m), are called accumulators.

Fluids having conductivities above 50 pico siemens/m are called

non-accumulators
Static Electricity" means "High Voltage"
"STATIC ELECTRICITY" is not unmoving,
it really means "HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICITY

Static electricity is high voltage?.....

High voltage has all the

characteristics of "static electricity."

STATIC ELECTRICITY is HIGH VOLTAGE at low current.

 WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
“STATIC” AND “CURRENT”
ELECTRCITY
How are "Static" and "Current" different?

THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF ELECTRICITY,

STATIC ELECTRICITY AND CURRENT
ELECTRICITY. STATIC ELECTRICITY IS
ELECTRICITY AT REST, WHILE CURRENT
ELECTRICITY IS ELECTRICITY IN MOTION."

g
Lightning is a dramatic natural
example of static discharge
The static charge in air typically
breaks down in this way at around
10,000 volts/centimeter (30 kV/cm)
depending on humidity
The discharge superheats the
surrounding air causing the bright
flash, and produces a shock wave
causing theoccurs
The flash clicking sound. the air in
because
the discharge channel is heated to
such a high temperature that it emits
light by incandescence.
The clap of thunder result of the shock wave
created as the superheated air expands
explosively
