What is the defination for electric force, electric discharge and static charge?
Answer Electric Force: Usually measured in voltage units, this is the potential to which the electron have been elevated and how far the energy must fall in order to bring them back to a nuetral energy level. For example, the tv picture tube must have a force of 25,000 volts to accelerate the electron beam with sufficient energy to cause the posphers on the screen to light up. But the voltage from a dry cell battery is only 1.5 volts. Electric discharge: This is when the voltage force or potential is sufficient for it to jump over the insulator gap. For example, the tv picture tube has 25,000 volts applied, so the insulators must be very effective. When they get dirty or corroded or moisture sets in, the voltage arcs over to some other part of the tv chassis and causes a snapping sound. Static charge: When two dissimilar materials are rubbed together a group of electrons maybe pulled off and collected on the other object. This can cause a build up of voltage or electric charge with an
