Static discharges occur when there is a buildup of electric charge on an object due to friction with another object, leading to the sudden flow of electricity between the charged object and a conductive material. This can result in a spark or a sudden shock, commonly experienced when touching a metal object after walking on a carpeted floor.
When a charged object interacts with a neutral object, it can induce a charge separation in the neutral object, causing it to become polarized. This can lead to attraction or repulsion between the charged object and the neutral object. However, no transfer of charge occurs between the two objects in this interaction.
When a charged object is brought close to another oppositely charged object, they will experience an attractive force due to the difference in charge. If they are allowed to come into contact, electrons will transfer from the negatively charged object to the positively charged object until they reach equilibrium in charge distribution. This transfer of electrons will neutralize the objects.
When a charged object is brought near a neutral metallic object, the charges in the metallic object redistribute themselves. This causes the charges within the metallic object to separate, with opposite charges being attracted to the charged object. This redistribution of charges induces a temporary charge separation in the metallic object, known as polarization.
When charged objects are placed near neutral objects, there can be a transfer of electrons between the objects, resulting in the neutral object becoming charged. The charged object can induce a separation of charges in the neutral object, causing it to attract or repel other nearby objects.
