A potential difference (electric charge) measurable between two points which is caused by the distribution of dissimilar static charge along the points The voltage level is usually in kilovolts
Enhancement of a mechanical filters capture efficiency (particularly in the attraction of smaller diameter particles) by imparting an electrostatic charge on the fibers in the media
Type of force that exists between two electrically charged objects Objects with a similar charge repel each other , and objects with dissimilar charges attract each other No current flows in an electrostatic environment Emissivity: The ratio of energy emitted by a surface to the energy emitted by a blackbody at the same temperature Non metal surfaces are have high emissivity (~0 9) and shiny metal surfaces have low emissivity (~0 2)
Pertaining to static electricity or electricity at rest A constant intensity electric charge
Pertaining to the static electricity or electricity at rest A constant intensity electric charge
Pertaining to static electricity, or electricity at rest An electric charge for example
In contrast to electrodynamics, this is the study of the interactions between stationary electrical charges (see also electromagnetic interaction)
A method of printing that utilizes a special electrostatic paper or a charged drum, both of which attract toner to the charged area See AIM document T-12, "Electrostatic Printing"
concerned with or producing or caused by static electricity; "an electrostatic generator produces high-voltage static electricity"
A technique for painting metal structures that have many holes or cavities; paint is sprayed through a grid of wires that forms one electrode onto the structure to be painted which forms the other electrode, and to which the paint particles are attracted
Any of various devices, including the electrophorus, the Wimshurst machine, and especially the Van de Graaff generator, that generate high voltages by accumulating large quantities of electric charge
Modification in the distribution of electric charge on one material under the influence of an electric charge on a nearby object. It occurs whenever any object is placed in an electric field. When a negatively charged object is brought near a neutral object, it induces a positive charge on the near side of the object and a negative charge on the far side. If the negative side of the original object is momentarily grounded, the negative charge may escape, so that the object becomes positively charged by induction
n. The removal of very fine particles suspended in a gas by electrostatic charging and subsequent precipitation onto a collector in a strong electric field
A process for printing or copying in which electrostatic forces are used to form the image in powder or ink directly on the surface to be printed.electrostatic printer n
