Printer Tech Tips—Cause & Effects of Static Electricity in Paper
Printer Tech Tips Cause & Effects of Static Electricity in Paper Problem The paper has developed a static electrical charge causing an abnormal sheet-to- sheet or sheet-to-material attraction which is difficult to separate. This condition may result in feeder trip-offs, print voids from surface contamination, ink offset, Sappi Printer Technical Service or poor sheet jog in the delivery. 877 SappiHelp (727 7443) Description Static electricity is defined as a non-moving, non-flowing electrical charge or in simple terms, electricity at rest. Static electricity becomes visible and dynamic during the brief moment it sparks a discharge and for that instant it’s no longer at rest. Lightning is the result of static discharge as is the shock you receive just before contacting a grounded object during unusually dry weather. Matter is composed of atoms, which in turn are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of protons and neutrons, which make up the atoms nucleus, determine the type of material. Electrons orbit the nucleus and balance the electrical charge of the protons. When both negative and positive are equal, the charge of the balanced atom is neutral. If electrons are removed or added to this configuration, the overall charge becomes either negative or positive resulting in an unbalanced atom. Materials with high conductivity, such as steel, are called conductors and maintain neutrality because their electrons can move freely from atom to atom to balance any applied charges. Therefore, conductors can dissipate static when properly grounded. Non-conductive materials, or insulators such as plastic and wood, have the opposite property as their electrons can not move freely to maintain balance. -
The Lorentz Force
CLASSICAL CONCEPT REVIEW 14 The Lorentz Force We can find empirically that a particle with mass m and electric charge q in an elec- tric field E experiences a force FE given by FE = q E LF-1 It is apparent from Equation LF-1 that, if q is a positive charge (e.g., a proton), FE is parallel to, that is, in the direction of E and if q is a negative charge (e.g., an electron), FE is antiparallel to, that is, opposite to the direction of E (see Figure LF-1). A posi- tive charge moving parallel to E or a negative charge moving antiparallel to E is, in the absence of other forces of significance, accelerated according to Newton’s second law: q F q E m a a E LF-2 E = = 1 = m Equation LF-2 is, of course, not relativistically correct. The relativistically correct force is given by d g mu u2 -3 2 du u2 -3 2 FE = q E = = m 1 - = m 1 - a LF-3 dt c2 > dt c2 > 1 2 a b a b 3 Classically, for example, suppose a proton initially moving at v0 = 10 m s enters a region of uniform electric field of magnitude E = 500 V m antiparallel to the direction of E (see Figure LF-2a).

On the Nature of Electric Charge
Vol. 9(4), pp. 54-60, 28 February, 2014 DOI: 10.5897/IJPS2013.4091 ISSN 1992 - 1950 International Journal of Physical Copyright © 2014 Author(s) retain the copyright of this article Sciences http://www.academicjournals.org/IJPS Full Length Research Paper On the nature of electric charge Jafari Najafi, Mahdi 1730 N Lynn ST apt A35, Arlington, VA 22209 USA. Received 10 December, 2013; Accepted 14 February, 2014 A few hundred years have passed since the discovery of electricity and electromagnetic fields, formulating them as Maxwell's equations, but the nature of an electric charge remains unknown. Why do particles with the same charge repel and opposing charges attract? Is the electric charge a primary intrinsic property of a particle? These questions cannot be answered until the nature of the electric charge is identified. The present study provides an explicit description of the gravitational constant G and the origin of electric charge will be inferred using generalized dimensional analysis. Key words: Electric charge, gravitational constant, dimensional analysis, particle mass change. INTRODUCTION The universe is composed of three basic elements; parameters. This approach is of great generality and mass-energy (M), length (L), and time (T). Intrinsic mathematical simplicity that simply and directly properties are assigned to particles, including mass, postulates a hypothesis for the nature of the electric electric charge, and spin, and their effects are applied in charge. Although the final formula is a guesswork based the form of physical formulas that explicitly address on dimensional analysis of electric charges, it shows the physical phenomena. The meaning of some particle existence of consistency between the final formula and properties remains opaque. -

Oktober 2019, Prof. Dr. Carsten Rockstuhl iv To Ouiem and Adam Thesis abstract Optical metamaterials are artificial media made from subwavelength inclusions with un- conventional properties at optical frequencies. While a response to the magnetic field of light in natural material is absent, metamaterials prompt to lift this limitation and to exhibit a response to both electric and magnetic fields at optical frequencies. Due tothe interplay of both the actual shape of the inclusions and the material from which they are made, but also from the specific details of their arrangement, the response canbe driven to one or multiple resonances within a desired frequency band. With such a high number of degrees of freedom, tedious trial-and-error simulations and costly experimen- tal essays are inefficient when considering optical metamaterials in the design of specific applications. -
Electromagnetism
Electromagnetism Electric Charge Two types: positive and negative Like charges repel, opposites attract Forces come in a matched pair Each charge pushes or pulls on the other Forces have equal magnitudes and opposite directions Forces increase with decreasing separation Charge is quantized Charge is an intrinsic property of matter Electrons are negatively charged (-1.6 x 10-19 coulomb’s each) Protons are positively charged (+1.6 x 10-19 coulomb’s each) Net charge is the sum of an object’s charges Most objects have zero net charge (neutral – equal numbers of + and -) Electric Fields Charges push on each other through empty space Charge one creates an “electric field” This electric field pushes on charge two An electric field is a structure in space that pushes on electric charge The magnitude of the field is proportional to the magnitude of the force on a test charge The direction of the field is the direction of the force on a positive test charge Magnetic Poles Two Types: north and south Like poles repel, opposites attract Forces come in matched pairs Forces increase with decreasing separation Analogous to electric charges EXCEPT: No isolated magnetic poles have ever been found! Net pole on an object is always zero! Most atoms are magnetic, but most materials are not Atomic magnetism is perfectly cancelled Material is indifferent to nearby magnetic poles Some materials do not have full cancellation Ferromagnetic materials respond to magnetic poles Magnetic Fields A magnetic field is a structure in space that pushes on magnetic poles -

Materials That Cause Static Electricity
Materials that Cause Static Electricity http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/static_materials.htm Some materials cause or create more static electricity than others. Since static electricity is the collection of electrically charged particles on the surface of a material, various materials have a tendency of either giving up electrons and becoming positive (+) in charge or attracting electrons and becoming negative (−) in charge. The Triboelectric Series is a list of materials, showing which have a greater tendency to become positive (+) and which have a greater tendency to become negative (−). The list is a handy tool to determine which combinations of materials create the most static electricity. Questions you may have include: What are materials in the Triboelectric Series? What are the best combinations of materials? What are acceptable combinations? Triboelectric Series Common materials are listed according how well they create static electricity when rubbed with another material, as well as what charge the material will possess. Become positive in charge The following materials will tend to give up electrons when brought in contact with other materials. They are listed from those with the greatest tendency to give electrons to those that barely give up electrons. Materials that gain a positive (+) electrical charge (or tend to give up electrons) Greatest tendency to giving up electrons and becoming highly positive (+) in Dry human skin charge Leather Rabbit fur Fur is often used to create static electricity Glass The glass on your TV screen gets charged and collects dust Human hair "Flyaway hair" is a good example of having a moderate positive (+) charge Nylon Wool Lead A surprise that lead would collect as much static electricity as cat fur Cat fur Silk Aluminum Gives up some electrons Paper Neutral There are very few materials that do not tend to readily attract or give up electrons when brought in contact or rubbed with other materials. -

Electric Charge
Electric Charge • Electric charge is a fundamental property of atomic particles – such as electrons and protons • Two types of charge: negative and positive – Electron is negative, proton is positive • Usually object has equal amounts of each type of charge so no net charge • Object is said to be electrically neutral Charged Object • Object has a net charge if two types of charge are not in balance • Object is said to be charged • Net charge is always small compared to the total amount of positive and negative charge contained in an object • The net charge of an isolated system remains constant Law of Electric Charges • Charged objects interact by exerting forces on one another • Law of Charges: Like charges repel, and opposite charges attract • The standard unit (SI) of charge is the Coulomb (C) Electric Properties • Electrical properties of materials such as metals, water, plastic, glass and the human body are due to the structure and electrical nature of atoms • Atoms consist of protons (+), electrons (-), and neutrons (electrically neutral) Atom Schematic view of an atom • Electrically neutral atoms contain equal numbers of protons and electrons Conductors and Insulators • Atoms combine to form solids • Sometimes outermost electrons move about the solid leaving positive ions • These mobile electrons are called conduction electrons • Solids where electrons move freely about are called conductors – metal, body, water • Solids where charge can’t move freely are called insulators – glass, plastic Charging Objects • Only the conduction
