Electrostatic and Electrostatics. Electrostatic pertains to static electricity or electricity at rest. It can be produced by friction or atmospheric electricity. Electrostatics is the science of static electricity. Electrostatic discharges are frequent causes of fires and explosions. This problem is discussed under ELECTRICITY, EXTRANEOUS AND HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH IT Refs 1) Hackh sDict (1944), 301-L... [Pg.723]

Electrification is the process of producing an electric charge on an object. If the charge is confined to the object it is said to be electrostatic. The term static electricity refers to accumulated, immobile, electrical charges in contrast to charges in rapid flow, which is the subject of electrodynamics. [Pg.286]

Static electric discharge is a serious problem ia the electronics iadustry. Electronic devices are extremely seasitive to static electric discharges. Examples of the seasitivity to electrostatic discharge (ESD) are givea ia Table 2 (26). [Pg.288]

Electrostatic charges are also geaerated whea Hquids move ia coatact with other materials, Hquid or sofld, eg, duriag pumping of gasoliae. Serious iadustrial hazards caused by static ia chemical and related fields have been described (28), and a study of accidents ia the chemical iadustry revealed that 115 out of 1600 accideats, or 7%, were ascribed to static electricity (29) (see Plant safety).

Our analysis has been restricted to the response of a sphere to an applied uniform static electric field. But we are interested in scattering problems where the applied (incident) field is a plane wave that varies in space and time. We showed that a sphere in an electrostatic field is equivalent to an ideal dipole therefore, let us assume that for purposes of calculations we may replace the sphere by an ideal dipole with dipole moment emaE0 even when the applied field is a plane wave. However, the permittivities in (5.15) are those appropriate to the frequency of the incident wave rather than the static field values. [Pg.139]

Electrostatic discharge Static or electrostatic discharge may be sufficient to initiate detonation in a number of explosives under some circumstances. As a result, the handling of explosives and pyrotechnics, most of the time, is unsafe and requires electrical grounding of working tables and operators. [Pg.17]
