A VERY BIG PROBLEM practically all electronics are restricted to voltages no greater 40 50 volts electrostatic can be as much as 5kv to 50 kv but the source impedance is very hi so while the voltage is there current capabilities are not a low impedance device can possibly survive these discharges but a hi impedance device like MOS cannot survive since the negligent current will raise the potential very hi blowing the device.
What else can I help you with?
Electrostatic discharge is commonly known as?
i think its static electricity.
What is the minimum voltage of an electrostatic discharge ESD that you can feel?
1500v From ESD Association ESD Handbook ESD TR20.20 section 5.3.2.1: "When people are charged with static electricity, they can release stored energy to conductive objects such as doorknobs and electronic circuits. This transfer of energy is called an electrostatic discharge. Sometimes the electrostatic discharge causes visible sparks, but more often, it is both unseen and unfelt. Electrostatic discharges can damage ESD sensitive components used in modern electronics. Static electricity is a natural phenomenon that occurs in all climates and at all levels of relative humidity year round. Most people cannot feel an electrostatic discharge unless the static voltage is greater than 2000 volts. However, some electronic circuitry can be damaged by ESD that is less than 2000 volts. The damage can be done without people having any sensation of the ESD event. When a wrist strap is worn properly and connected to ground, the person wearing it will stay near ground potential."

What damage it does to transistor operation?
Transistor failure can occur due to a variety of reason. The following are some of them. Age Aging of transistor due to temperature variations inside the components due to carrying current can cause failure. The electrical properties of the materials inside can drift due to age. External Causes External causes such as spikes in the power supply, heat, mechanical damage can also result in transistor failures. Hence, all transistors should be adequately protected against overvoltage. Poor Circuit design. Improperly chosen components and wrong circuit design can also result in transistor failure. Hence, all components in the circuit should be properly rated with sufficient allowance for overloading and temperature rise. The failure of one component can lead to cascade failures of other components. Overheating Overheating is the most common cause of transistor failure. Hence, it is important that transistors be provided with cooling mechanism. Devices which contain temperature-sensitive electronic components should be kept in air conditioned environments. Electrostatic Discharge Electrostatic discharge can also damage transistors. Hence proper precautions against Electrostatic Discharge Should be taken.
Which phenomenon will occur when the value at the discharge end of a pipe connected to a reservoir is suddenly closed?
A compression shock wave will travel back into the liquid at the speed of sound. In domestic water systems this is called "hammer".
When does damaging electrostatic discharge is most likely to occur?
The humidity is low
What do you call a scary electrostatic discharge?
A scary electrostatic discharge is commonly known as a lightning strike.
What is another name for an electrostatic discharge?
Another name for an electrostatic discharge is static electricity.
What protects a computer from electrostatic discharge?
A transistor
Is the static discharge a flow of electrons?
Static discharge is the spark associated with static electricity that is caused by electrostatic discharge.
Electrostatic discharge is commonly known as what?
static electricity
What can be used to prevent electrostatic discharge?
grounding strap
What is a scary electrostatic discharge?
That might refer to a lightning.
What do you call a very electrostatic Discharge?
Frightening Lightning
What are electrostatic dissipative shoes?
They are shoes that are made to dissapate ElectroStatic Discharge which can damage electronics and computer parts.
What are the different types of electrostatic discharge?
There are three main types of electrostatic discharge (ESD): direct discharge, indirect discharge, and field-induced discharge. Direct discharge occurs when a charged object comes into direct contact with another object. Indirect discharge happens when the charged object interacts with another object that is not in direct contact. Field-induced discharge occurs when the electric field between objects causes a discharge without direct contact.
Why we use electrostatic discharge?
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is used to prevent damage to electronic components or devices. ESD can occur when static electricity builds up and discharges through an object, potentially causing harm if not properly managed. By grounding components or using ESD-safe materials, the risk of damage due to ESD can be minimized.
