static electricity in photocopiers helps to create accurate, high-quality copies of documents

static electricity projects a pattern of the image onto the positively charged photoreceptive drum below. The positively charged particles on the drum's surface are neutralized by the light

Negatively charged toner particles are then attracted to these positive charges on the paper, and the toner is transferred to a positively charged sheet of paper.

static electricity plays a crucial role in the copying process.

One effective way of preventing sparks is by connecting all objects to a conductor

Spark discharges occur when the charges accumulated on conductive objects create an electric field that exceeds the ambient atmosphere’s electric strength.

Sparks are responsible for most industrial fires and explosions as a result of static electricity.

Fires or explosions due to the ignition of flammable or explosive mixtures.

static electricity is far from other familiar electromagnetic manifestations of electricity. It can be as hazardous and requires well-planned protection against its threats.

form of electricity resulting from the imbalance between positive and negative charges

a stationary electric charge, typically produced by friction, which causes sparks or crackling or the attraction of dust or hair.
