Conductive objects, charge accumulation

Conductive objects may accumulate charge via conduction, induction, ion collection or contact-separation in relation to a nonconductor. In general, charge accumulation on conductive objects can be completely prevented by bonding and grounding. The only decisions to be made are how small the resistance to ground must be (4-1.3) and how small a conductive object needs to be before it can be neglected. The latter depends on the results of... 

Electrostatic charge accumulation Generally, powders are divided into three groups depending on their ability to retain static charge even if the powder is in contact with an electrically ground conductive object. This ability is known as volume resistivity ...
